Wondering if You Respond to Being Called a Name?

I don't believe anyone likes to be called names, especially if those names are in the slightest way derogatory. So, if anyone here posts something and calls all of us a name with each post, are we interested in responding? I'm not. I have noticed that this tactic, although the person may think it cute or funny, does not often get many responses or likes. Could it be the name-calling? I won't elaborate further because I don't want to call out any name of anyone posting like this. I have responded once to this person asking about the name-calling but got no response back. It is sort of like saying Y'all maybe? Yet not. And the name used is from decades ago and no longer really used.
Does this tactic entice you to respond to a post?

There's no excuse for name calling on this site.

I'm sorry, but I cannot say anything specific. If I did, this discussion would have been removed. I am surprised this discussion wasn't already removed. But you will probably figure it out eventually now that I said something about it. It is always in the discussion title.

I don't really know what you mean. I do think you have to give those from other nationalities the benefit of the doubt sometimes. I've been called 'dear' and 'sister' - stuff like that - but it's has all been well-intended. You could always message the person and say it bothers you. Until someone says it's a bit disturbing, they're not going to know to stop.

I take no notice of name calling in any situation, there is no need for it.
