I'm still on restriction so I can't edit my post but didn't mean to say:

"3. How to defend lying - Lying is allowed when it protects your privacy. Everyone has a right to privacy in their life, even if it involves hurting people behind their back."

I meant to say:

3. How lying isn't defensible - Lying isn't permissible or appropriate when it protects your privacy if it involves hurting people behind their back.

The internet is 90% complaining and entitlement and I hate it because I deserve better!
