It was an identification of a sub-group, not an insult. But as far as I can recall, it has always been fair game to criticize public figures for their espoused opinions and public actions.
Being offended by everything, and making it everyone else's fault, is the part that is new these days.
- wumpus 5y agoIt wasn't an insult? Funny, I thought it was the same as calling someone a hypocrite. Indeed, it's fair game to insult other people. Sadly, it's prohibited by the rules of this forum. Disagree with them? Great. Accuse them of being hypocrites? Less great.

- GhettoComputers 5y agoHe is extremely rude to me, to appease him I edited my comment and he just angrily attacks every point I make without reading any information. Because he just attacks me so I don't see any reasonable communication with a purely ad hominem poster. Internet bullies will only be affected by lack of attention to their trolling.
