Gaslighting: Let's talk about it again!

I was very surprised in the "red flags" thread that u/OK_Shame_5382 was downvoted for saying they didn't like when people gaslight in Clocktower. For the purpose of discussion let's define

Gaslighting = Fabricating the speech and actions of another player

(Recognizing that this term has other definitions in the wider world, this is the word I've heard used for this behavior most often in Clocktower)

This came up here in the sub a year ago here, I thought it would be interesting to update ourselves on the topic since we probably have a lot of new players in the last 12 months that didn't see that discussion.

For context I'll say that on my own individual basis, I don't particularly mind either way. If I was playing in a circle with people who were all comfortable lying about each other's private speech, I'd probably go along with it. But for what it's worth, I don't play in any regular context (in-person game, Discord, online groups, streaming, Noobs, NRB, TPI events, or convention) where lying about what someone else said in private is a common or accepted tactic.

For me one of the issues is that I think this tactic leads the vibe of the game more towards aggression and confrontation, and I've found the best Clocktower games to be more elegant, devious and confounding in their machinations. The other big issue is simply that I play with a lot of friends who have a big problem with it, and I want to keep Clocktower fun for them.

What do you think?

EDIT TO ADD: I think there's also times where you are friends with the person and you know you play with each other in this way, or you might say "I'll tell you this but I'm going to lie about this conversation with town", or one of you is the Evil Twin which might lead to lying about private chats with your twin. I've seen this be most unpleasant when the players didn't know each other so didn't feel particularly badly about throwing the other person under the bus in town.
