I was shouted down and told that I was out-of-order to state that they were lying in their claims.

Let me just suggest that you adopt a habit of replacing accusations of lying with an assertion that the person is simply factually incorrect, unless you know for sure that they know their claims are wrong. That way you don't get ruled out of order and you don't piss off people who may eventually be convinced of the truth.

Lying means intent to deceive and people get really pissed off when accused of lying when they are stating what they sincerely believe to be true, but in reality just don't have the correct facts. That burns bridges - you never know when you might need to cross them.
