Telling a person that they are acting stupid is quite different than
telling them they are stupid. However my opinion is telling them
they are acting stupid is ok, telling them the are stupid is
marginal, while name calling is unacceptable (Nun of the Above,
Herr Oberst, and so on).

Riiiight, and "Foghorn Lenhorn" is perfectly acceptable in
addition to "novice in radio" and other snarly epithets.
As long as one is a morse code enthusiast (nee' evangelist).

Maybe you're incapable of putting two and two together, Len.
"Foghorn Lenhorn" makes an appearance whenever you start your "Herr
Oberst, Kolonel Klunk, Sister Nun of the Above" routine. You get what
you give.

Been a LONG time since I baby-sat kiddies watching Satiddy TV
shows.
But, I CAN envision some purple dinosaurs doing what you describe.
Some of them are in here!. We've got the self-defined "Mr. Rogers"
types being almost nauseatingly 'pleasant' and absolutely NON-
violent
but being able to sneer and talk-down the "inferior" types with a
SEG all over their phizz.

IOW, you can stand almost anything but someone being civil to you.

The "ostrich syndrome" is very real in human groupings. Folks WANT
to see only what is acceptiable to Them. The parallel is that the
world only revolves about Them and Theirs and all who don't go
around in Their circles should be "eliminated." Deep down they are
both ego-driven and don't have the guts to see/experience REALITY.
Reality ain't pleasant 24/7. The universe wan't created to serve
Them despite their firm convictions that is was SO (and nyah-nyah).

I know that pornography exists. I don't choose to view it. It goes
against my values. We all make value judgements. Dee killfiled you
because you were insulting and she didn't choose to be insulted by you.
As I pointed out to you, she is the nice lady who has a lovely home.
An unsightly landfill was built next to her home. She built a tall
fence so she wouldn't have to look at the landfill. In this story, you
play the part of the landfill.

She doesn't choose to interact with you. Deal with it.
