I very much did. But I did so because he was as a matter of fact being ignorant, not because I choose to call him ignorant as name-calling. If you don't understand the difference between name-calling and pointing out behavior, there's no real point in arguing.
It's very simple: don't tell lies, don't use double standards, don't act ignorant, and you won't hear from me. Do so, and I will point it out. Don't shoot the messenger.
And for the record, pointing out doesn't work if the very basis of your argument is flawed.
Drivers have been booed, and rightfully so, right after an act. Austria 2002, Indy 2005, Singapore 2008. But not months afterwards, in a completely different setting.
Calling a class-mate or a co-worker an idiot for doing something idiotic, sure, they may deserve it.
Calling a class-mate or a co-worker an idiot for months and months while he has done nothing wrong since, all the while being all buddy buddy with other idiots, you are the one who's an asshole who lacks common decency.

In the real world, if you steal, you are a thief, if you drive too hard, you are a speeder, if you ignore things, you are ignorant. Simple.

For someone who claims to have a strong moral compass, you sure do talk down to people and speak to them like crap sometimes.
Therefore I would like to point out you are a hypocrite, you need to re-asses at what level your morals lie, and stop presenting yourself as the great defender of morality.

The less intelligent observers say anyone could do it in that car.
