Please point out in the referenced post the 'name calling' that you're alleging SD to have engaged in.

Also, please try to understand our reluctance to genuflect at the altar of your self-importance.

“You’ve only been here since mid-February. Your ignorance of politics is appalling.”

Pointing out someone’s length of stay, and calling them “ignorant” is to engage in name-calling and expressing an “entitlement” attitude.

Calling someone ignorant does not move a discussion forward, or lend credibility to one’s points. Also, to consider one to be entitled because they have been on this site longer is again to engage in rhetoric that is not helpful. So what if someone is only starting out? Does it make their points less thoughtful or meaningful? Isn’t this “entitlement” mentality one of the things we conservatives are fighting against? I thought so, and so it is important to remain consistent.

Finally your reference to “genuflecting at the altar” was also offensive and uncalled for, and I fail to see the reason for that kind of statement.
