You are in fact calling the poster a liar without offering anything to support that the statement is untrue.

It's an oft used retort to something a person finds unsettling and frankly an extremely lazy retort.

It speaks equally as badly about the challenger as it does the challenged.

I personally suspect that the OP is in error but such a lame, lazy insult-as-rebuttal is, well, lame and lazy. Gimme somthin' here to support you, okay?
