Your comment was correctly downvoted and flagged because of the name-calling. You shouldn't do that, not only because it breaks the site guidelines (https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html), but because it discredits the view you're arguing for.

Name calling implies I applied a label to a person, I didn't apply any label to a person.

If you read https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html, you'll see that we use the term for more than just persons. That's because it degrades discussion either way.
