If someone posts a demonstrable lie or falsehood, or continues to post a demonstrable lie or falsehood, is it ok to label that person as a liar?

If not, why is it ok to post a blatant lie or falsehood in the first place, or to keep repeating the lie or falsehood?

1. We consider it a personal attack to call a person a liar

If you see someone posting a lie then we prefer you to go after the post itself and refute it with facts. This is because our rules are based around the idea that it's okay to attack ideas but not people.

"Facts? They're posting facts. We can't be using no facts to dispute their claims. We can only call it a lie, a damn lie and them liars. Have you lost your ever loving liberal mind!"
