3. Sure you aren't.
4. So how do you know what fascism is when you admit to not having an education yourself?

Is calling other posters Nazis allowed? Bolded the relevant bit.

You can call people Nazis, commies, racists, anti-Semites ... you just can't do it in an uncivil manner.

Seems pretty uncivil
They are using it as an insult

I see two players snarking at each other, and your posts in the thread are on a similar level to what you're reporting. If you want a better quality and tone of debate, dial back your own attitude rather than trying to use us to win your arguments.

"Your memory's about as poor as..."
"Go on. I have my popcorn at the ready and I'm keeping my expectations low."
"You find your own lack of education funny?"

All mildly baity personal attacks. You make your bed, you lie in it. As I said, a more constructive tone gets you a better debate.

Depends on context. There's a difference between "you're a dick" and "you're acting like/being a dick", where the former is really just an insult aimed at the person, and the latter a (vulgar) criticism of their recent behaviour. Same as "you're an idiot" (clear flame) and "what you're doing/saying is idiotic" (not).

Has been addressed above - I don't really have anything to add to Farnhamia's explanation and New haven america's subsequent post.

We could have gone into the thread all guns blazing, and thrown out red text all around, but I don't think it's risen to the level of needing that - the hope is that the note on tone achieves what's needed.
