I don't know how to debate with a liar except to demonstrate that they're lying. Judging by how people respond to Buzsaw, nobody else seems to know, either. Regardless I'd appreciate any suggestions that you or anyone else had on that subject.
1. Stick to revealing errors or omissions in your opponent's facts or logic concerning the topic.
2. When someone informs you that you have misunderstood their position and corrects you, take the correction and continue debating the topic. Give them the benefit of the doubt and stop assuming they are lying.
3. If you can't bring yourself to do that, then debate another part of their argument if there is one.
4. If you still can't manage that, then stop debating with that person in that thread, but don't call them a liar or dishonest and then leave. That is not a good tactic and makes you look bad.
That's my suggestion.
