Yeah ... well ... there ought to be a "Geneva Conventions" against things like that. I mean, it's one thing to slam another person's beliefs, opinions, and unsubstantiable "facts", but it's quite another to impunge the person.It depends, because some people will act like describing someone as racist or homophobic or similar is
insulting them when often it's merely
a fair description of a person based on their openly stated beliefs and complaining about feeling insulted is a way to change the focus from whether or not the label is accurate to how the poor bigot's feelings are inflamed.
