This is not name calling, covert or otherwise, when I have said that your placing "peace and blessings" at the bottom of a post, in which you have tried to discredit me as a person, appears insincere, this is an honest view of how this type message appears to me. I do find this form of posting insincere, and I am entitled to say so, under the
TOS of curezone.
If someone is being dishonest, it is right to point it out, and back this statement with evidence, it is not name calling, unless there is no evidence.
There is never a reason to call someone stupid, unless you do wish to insult them. So that one I agree with. Calling information stupid, is not name calling, it is an opinion on the information, and is therefore valid.
This is all about attacking the message, not the messenger.
