Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Chileice name-call by calling name-callers "small people"?

I don't think so. Name calling is generally thought of as being derisive and intended as an insult. I think that the term "small people" is just a term in describing how they act.

Faggot is term that is meant to be insulting and degrading. "Small" people is just a term to describe someone who is taking the low ground, as it were.

No that's a post by a small person.

So, you are saying that I'm a small person because I disagree?

You're wrong - consider yourself corrected.


BTW - you're an idiot, too

I'm not wrong so consider yourself corrected.

In what way am I an idiot?

Such as the phrase, "you're bigger than that," is used to describe someone who has the ability to take the higher ground.

You are not wrong, so I cannot correct.

See, here's the thing, though, I didn't feel insulted. I was merely asking if it was your attempt to insult me. I think Chileice was merely describing what kind of people resort to name calling. From his post, I did not get the impression that he was trying to be insulting. Let me ask you this, what word would you have used instead?

I wouldn't have posted that in the first place because I don't feel the same way about name calling as Cheliece does, but there are lots of names he could have used, including "small." He could have made his point just fine without using that or any other term.
