It's like I'm a piece of metal attracted to an extreme magnetic force hiding behind three brick walls.

Everybody think their ways is right and they have the right to think that way but, calling other people names cause of the way they beleive or was taught is just wrong. not everybody is gonna have the same opinion on certain things. isnt there enough Drama and BS in RL without having it in here too?
it is evidence that this is turning into a fight not a disgustion

Again, I question where you're getting this from. Not all instance of what you perceive to be "name-calling" counts as being offensive/insulting. As far as I can tell no one's called anyone out for having a differing opinion. The comments lie in the reasoning of the person leading to that conclusion.

For instance, Person A wants to argue that murder is wrong. Why? Because human life is sacred and murder is taking that from them. If I were to call that person an idiot, you could argue that that was name-calling and it turning into a fight and no longer a discussion.

But if Person B wants to argue murder is wrong, with the reasoning being "I flipped a coin; if it landed heads, murder is wrong and if tails then murder is right". Then it's within *my* rights and everyone else's to label that person an idiot. It wouldn't be "you're an idiot because your opinion is incongruent with mine" so much as it was "you're an idiot because you're forgone any sane reasoning".

Same logic applies here.

So I commend AWI for not buckling to every cry of foul play and moderating with due rationality ;)
