Chancie, if you truly hate to be rude then perhaps you should choose phrases like "your co-worker is mistaken" or "your co-worker doesn't appear to know what he/she is taking about."  Using phrases like "big fat liar" reeks of one's enjoyment of bad manners.  Perhaps the co-worker is pulling the posters leg.  Using such phrasing sours conversation and turns away those who treasure quality discussion and debate.  I agree that that no store would break the release date agreement.  Reassuring the poster of this was, I am sure, your goal.  I also understand that we all get a tad inpatient with those people--like the co-worker--who spread untruths and rumors--especially so close to the release date with all of us on pins with anticipation.
