The question really is, is it permisible to call someone "idiot" when you think it is deserved?

I don't think people actually deserve being called “idiots” if they write ill-advised code. I've done that for sure, you've probably done it on occasion, even Linus Torvalds has probably done it once or twice. If it happens, by all means call our code bad, or even idiotic if you must. But don't call us idiots. Certainly not over the Internet. If you want to call me an idiot, do it to my face or don't do it at all.
