[QUOTE="Garthanos, post: 7629251, member: 82504"] I would say even most white lies are belittling people they are assuming a weakness or more often actually dodging recriminations. (there is a second lie where you think you are doing it for the other person). It is possible to lie and appropriately disrespect too. An example lying to hide where someone escaping Nazi Germany was to an authority who has clearly made themselves part of the problem. It's definitely highly likely to be a very good lie. even if disrespectful .. that Nazi might not be entrenched but the stakes make it appropriate. We can however say that it wasn't the truth or falsehood however that made that disrespectful. it would be equally nasty to lie doing that. The point I was making was intent... is there with disrepect too. I see every intent of disrespect in how Elfcrusher expressed his opinion. And I read spite there too are you certain I am wrong?. Not necessary to quibble but we can still look and say its non-trivial and subjective to tell if its spite driven and somehow I assumed that calling something obviously popular an abomination (which we are almost guaranteed of never seeing already might be rather like that funeral scene. ) [/QUOTE]
