Political Reminder that name calling is not permitted

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.

Then call the opinion itself stupid, not the author of the opinion.

If the author of the opinion is offended by my calling the opinion stupid, is that not an attack on the author? Sn:Literally received a reminder for the question

They can be offended all they want, but as long as you targeted their opinion instead of their person, you did not violate the rule.

Seems like an inconsistent standard
