I see your problem. You do not understand the difference between
name-calling and an accusation.

If I were to tell your wife that I thought you were a fat bald idiot,
it would be merely an insult (name-calling).

If I were to tell your wife that I thought you were an adulterer or a
thief or a fraudster, it would be an accusation that you had
deliberately done somerthing wrong.

Can you not see the difference?
