An idiot, in modern use, is a stupid or foolish person. I don't think I have used the term incorrectly.

Calling someone stupid or foolish is calling names in the sense that the site guidelines use that term. They ask you to omit all that from your posts to HN. Would you please review https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and stick to the rules?
