"you defend steem when it censors you lol"

I just say what I think is true. I am not responsible for Bernie, and Steem isn't either.

Regarding 'lying', there are other possibilities. I just don't think ignoring those other possibilities and jumping to the most insulting and pejorative claim is either reasonable or wise. He may misrecall. He may have been phished. There are lots of other reasons that he could make that statement honestly, even if he isn't factually correct. I understand you believe he is factually incorrect, and disagree with his statement, but that doesn't necessarily make him a liar.

I appreciate your sincerity, but not calling someone a liar without proof of intent to mislead.
