Does my post count as against the rules? I read earlier rulings about evidence on some topics when it comes to this, but those only confused me.

I'm not a mod, so I'm not familiar with any rulings about whether or not calling someone a liar is considered actionable or not. In my opinion, you based a major part of your post on refuting the facts, so that might not be worth anything more than a reminder to remain civil depending on your earlier history. But I can't quote precedent or prior rulings on that.

It might have been better if you'd stayed with the facts and let the facts make your case than if you'd just flat out called him a liar, but that's just my opinion.

Your post is fine. Just as long as you include some sort of relevant debate/argument, and you keep it civil, you'll be good.
