    Richard -- no-one sane carries on an extended discussion with

Not sane?  Or stupid enough to try to score points off someone who is
incapable of conceding them?  Or lying when you describe Peter?  You
must surely have better things to do.  Meanwhile, you surely noticed
that Peter is running rings around you.

 

In other words, you don't understand the concept of defense of the truth.

 Maybe, but continuously calling your debating opponent a liar, and doing
so in oversized upper case, goes beyond truth and comes perilously close
to stalking.

 Calling a liar a liar is fully justified. I don't know how often it
needs be done but readers of a liar may want to know that they are
reading a liar.
 

 The fact that no one can even point out a single mistake
conclusively proves that any lying is not on my side of
the dialogue.

It does not matter whether the false claims were mistakes or
intentional lies, although in the former case the expected
response would be that either the mistake is corrected or the
author attempts to support the claim with a better argument or
evidence. If the response is simply a repetition of the claim
then the assumption of an intentional lie is supported.
