Whether the neighbor is simply passing on lies the liar told, or a similar flake to the liar, lying on the other lying flake's behalf, in either case the operative strategy is the same. Assail, attack, and smear the person peddling the lie. Allow not the least hint of concession there could be any possibility the lie is true, and keep up the assault, being as vicious and unfair as is not just humanly, but demonically possible. Do not bother with mere denial of the charge, attack the person peddling the lie, and anyone biased and craven and sensation-seeking enough to pass the lie on, and keep on doing so no matter what.
