I read the conversation about the rules I did not understand the point about changing or making a new rule about name calling when name calling is already clearly illustrated as a no-no in the saidit pyramid of debate.

It seems to me all they need to do is encourage users to use the report button if they see offensive name calling and then as moderators they can decide whether to delete the comment or not. If no one complains about it just leave it.

I agree name-calling could be merged with ad hominem in the pyramid. It was part of the original Grahams Hierarchy of Debate. But I agree upon further reflection the 'name calling' category is too subjective and meaningless.
