Default Q: Okay to Post Lies?

Is it acceptable to consistently post blatant lies on this forum with the intent of misleading readers?

2+2=4; 2+2 does not equal 7 and never will. Is it acceptable on this forum, using this as an analogy, to attempt to consistently mislead people to believe that 2+2=7?

What's with all the useless replies? I opened a new topic because the other one was filled with crap not related to the question.

You should know that most threads on this site go off topic.

ALL politicians lie. That's why we have such things called politics, politicians, congresscritters, and presidents.

If someone posts something that is untrue, then feel free to correct it. The only "lie" I can think of that we simply will not condone is altering the text of a source to support your argument. That will result in a quick ban. But simply posting something that is untrue is allowed. We have no way of knowing if someone is simply mistaken or intentionally posting lies.

Even if it may be obvious to all that the person knows that what they are posting untrue?
