Name-Calling Debates

name-calling really isn't helping this discussion at all

Wow, perhaps that's what it's called by really arrogant people.

Down-voted for "idiots like you". Name calling does not add anything to the discussion.

Treating everyone like an idiot is just doing you and them a disservice. The word exists for a reason, use it.

True, but "Selfish indiscriminate idiots" just doesn't have the same ring to it ;-)

You still don't understand what the term "whataboutism" means. And now you've descended to calling a word names like "buzzword" and "juvenile". You can't hurt a word's feelings by calling it names, but you can learn what it means. So why don't you look up what the word means before confessing it applies to you, then calling it names?

Using a pejorative (retarded) to describe another is not very helpful.

I appreciate you actually naming the scumbags. It's tiresome how people are overly diplomatic these days.

Most people who break the guideline against calling names feel that they are "apt descriptions". It's still against HN's rules, so please don't. You can make your substantive points without that.

This may violate the HN policies about name-calling or shallow dismissals, but is also either derogatory to actual idiots or factually incorrect.
