Default The difference between telling a lie and being wrong

So many people here call you a liar if they disagree with you. That is offensive to me. Very few people lie. They simply relate what they believe to be true. If you disagree with a statement somebody makes, why not just say, "I disagree with that." Or ask for proof. There is so much vitriol behind the word "liar" because it presumes intent. I, like most people, am actually wrong on occasion. Just because you believe something is true that turns out not to be just means you are wrong. It doesn't mean you're a liar. A liar is someone who KNOWINGLY tells an untruth, and I don't think there are too many people who do that.
