I hope you'll accept my sincerity when I say I don't think calling someone stupid is anything more than rude and insulting
, not abusive, defamatory or even hateful.

the definition of abusive is "offensive and insulting" so they are the same thing(not to mention disrespectful)...Calling someone stupid isn't a major deal until it becomes standard in a person's post(s)...along with other aspects of disrespect as well...Anyway, we are way off topic here and it's not a major thing anyway...I just wondered why that part of the rules are not enforced...You feel abusive is not anything more than what you stated, although one of the terms you stated is the definition of abusive...Anyway, I can see your point, and I can understand and respect your point, and now we can get back on topic! :thumbsup:
