I'm not sure saying someone is a fascist is necessarily "name-calling". What if it is true? Isn't truth an absolute defense against libel? I mean, all that amounts to is that someone believes the notions and values of the group outweigh those held by an individual outside that group. That certainly seems apropos at times around here. "Butthead" would be name calling, unless that is the person's anatomical configuration, right? I'm still seeking a definition of "demolib". It would seem to apply to people promoting democracy liberally, but is served up as an apparent insult. Seems similar to the mentally challenged calling a smart person "Brainiac". Recognition of a greater intellect, but in a disparaging manner.
