Personal attacks - are we allowed to say when they are dishonest?

I've had a poster repeatedly claiming that I have posted extraordinarily offensive things. I have posted that these posts were dishonest nonsense - my posts were deleted on the grounds of a personal attack.

When my posts were deleted it made it seem as though what the poster was saying might be true, so I then reported some of the posts attacking me. However Mumsnet think that the following, which is absolutely untrue, is NOT a personal attack, but me saying that it is dishonest, is.

"calling my parents (and other poor people) dirty fuckers and saying that they don't know how to clean/feel like they shouldn't have to do it/can't be bothered etc."

I never said anything of the kind, and would hate to think that anyone might think I would. Why are we not permitted to defend ourselves against statements like the above?

I said it was dishonest nonsense because it clearly is. That is not an opinion or a personal attack. Yet it is left to stand, while my posts were deleted.

I'd be really grateful for some clarification of the rules.
