No it doesn't have to. You can choose not to stoop down to the level of "idiocy".
Honestly, I think you are a great poster on here. Very knowledgeable about the team and even contracts. I also agree with most of your opinions on the team. It's easy to see you are an intelligent person.
I feel like the hall monitor or part of the "woke" crowd by even writing this, and I'm far from either.
I just feel when good posters like you lower themselves to the name-calling because the other person has, it hurts your argument.
It's obviously none of my business, I just think you're a better member than that.
