Does calling someone ignorant qualify as name calling?

If you use that word, but are able to justify it with reasoned argument, the other party may excuse you.

If it's said without reason or context then it's just a rude judgement

well if I don't know something ,say even in this topic
there are bits of information I am missing ,then I would be ignorant ,,which is not a bad thing it just means I don't have enough information ,,
But
If given all the facts and I arrogantly chose to ignore them
Well thats when you go from ignorant to stupid

and neither one are actually "name calling " if the shoe fits

Intent to insult counts here

@PoizonApple intent is a huge factor

And muting. You're freaking obsessed, in a creepy victimhood kind of way. Btw, you also need some reading comprehension.
Context counts. Technically it just means not knowledgeable. I’m ignorant about Brexit so I usually listen (read) rather than participate in those posts.
