    Name-calling is a form of argument in which insulting or demeaning labels are directed at an individual or group.

    That’s what we, at Beehaw, don’t want. It is not nice.

      They’re not insulting or demeaning labels, they’re facts. Donald Trump is a felon. Joe Biden is complicit in authoritarian war crimes and genocide, and is quashing public dissent with state force. You know, like a fascist.

      What’s disturbing, and definitely not nice, is having staff here defend these people from criticism. Slaughtering children isn’t nice. Calling it out is.

      These are public figures who directly engage in hurting others as a matter of course.

        …staff here defend these people from criticism.

        Show me where Beehaw staff have defended anyone from criticism.

        The subject at hand is name-calling. It is not nice.

        The subject that you keep reiterating is current events and politics.

        Do you understand the difference?

          I’m going to be frank. Your response to this thread is a huge red flag for me, and it makes me much less comfortable being here.
