and the post as a whole was useful
Oh, I get it. You differentiate between making a useless point in a post where the rest of the post (majority) was useful.
Likewise, if you only said something useless, you would find the entire post useless. So you have to put the useless sentence in a post where the rest of it would make it 99% useful and such..
But my point was not the usefulness of the entire post.
My point was on the usefulness on the specific sentence in topic - calling someone an idiot.
I think it is childish and such, but - that's just my opinion. Not a fact.
I find it somewhat disturbing that name-calling will happen in all ages and all levels of intelligence, from children to teens to adults, and so and so forth.
