Not that I expect a serious response.

I'd say call them by their name.

Unless we want to start using "posting history" to label everyone as something?  What's to stop someone from labeling another poster as a racist or homophobe?  That's what the new rules are supposed to be addressing in part.

You do you.  I'm just trying to make sure we're within the rules here...and that requires more thought from posters (me included) about how and what we write.
