No, that&#x27;s not calling you names. (That would be &quot;You are a dick.&quot;) It&#x27;s describing your behavior. &quot;Being a dick&quot; is a term of art.<p>For many years, Wikipedia had a useful page called &quot;Don&#x27;t be a dick&quot;:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;meta.wikimedia.org&#x2F;w&#x2F;index.php?title=Don%27t_be_a_jerk&amp;oldid=2980084" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;meta.wikimedia.org&#x2F;w&#x2F;index.php?title=Don%27t_be_a_je...</a><p>They&#x27;ve more recently renamed it &quot;don&#x27;t be a jerk&quot;, so if your delicate sensibilities can&#x27;t handle my original comment, feel free to read it as &quot;jerk&quot;.<p>In particular, you took something that a lot of people like and were shitty about it. You set yourself up as lord-high judge of them and their self expression. The people you were being condescending toward surely include people here.<p>Then, rather than just accepting the downvotes, you accused downvoters of working from offense to their &quot;tattooed rebellious self-image&quot;, assuming bad faith and again acting superior.<p>I&#x27;m happy to call that being a dick.<p>As long as you&#x27;re being a stickler for following the guidelines, perhaps read on down to &quot;Please resist commenting about being downvoted. It never does any good, and it makes boring reading.&quot;
