==Name-calling -- "making a fool of oneself"==
 +
 +
I was recently accused of name-calling, when I told Cons to stop "[https://www.conservapedia.com/User_talk:Aschlafly#Message_to_SamHB making a fool of himself]".  According to [https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/make%20a%20fool%20of%20oneself Merriam-Webster], "making a fool of oneself" simply means "behav[ing] in a very foolish or silly way".  That's not the same as being a fool—we all do foolish things from time to time.  I intended no name-calling, and I apologize to anyone who took my comment as such.
