It would be optimal if you knew what was being discussed, but you don't. The lie Luke is talking about is in reference to him asking the_undertow if a specific person knew. Because he didn't rat out his buddy, Luke decides to call him a liar on AN/I while putting a hat on the thread. Yes, such a shady character.
At least Luke is open about the fact that he can't be trusted. Wikipolitics > all else. ArbCom at its finest, people.
Wrong. He didn't have to rat out anyone. I didn't even ask him; he volunteered his lie. It was in his first-ever email to me, unsolicited.
Personally, I don't think that you or anyone has done anything shameful by silently letting his new account run (although some statements have been somewhat misleading). However, The_undertow didn't just make a misleading statement--he made a verifiably false assertion on behalf of a friend.
Where I'm from, silence is different from lying. I don't lie on behalf of anyone.
Again, I don't think you're helping your friends by dragging this out. I was happy to let it drop. Many more people will have noticed my comment now, and they'll be much more curious about what we're talking about. I think it might hurt both of them, and I didn't intend that at all.
Apologies for misunderstanding the situation. At long last we agree on something.
Kelly makes a good point, though. Throwing out a vague comment that he's a liar on ANI did no good.
