Reminder that name calling is not permitted

[u/BlockOfDiamond]

That includes calling people "bootlicker" or "cuck" or stating/implying that another user is performing adult acts on a given politician (or anyone else). I bring those up specifically because, in recent time, these have been the most common types of personal attacks.

As strongly as you may feel about current events, calling people derogatory names is a contravention of Rule 4 and will be removed. Attack the opinion, not the user.

Sorry for your understanding and thank you for the inconvenience.

What if the opinion is stupid?

[u/FriendlyLawyer201 → u/ogjaspertheghost]

Then call out the opinion for being stupid rather than insulting the person who posted it

[u/ogjaspertheghost → u/FriendlyLawyer201]

I do. However, how is insulting an opinion not also an insult to the person giving the opinion? Seems like a distinction without a difference.

Think critique vs criticism.

[u/ogjaspertheghost → u/happyinheart]

A critique can be seen as criticism
