That's is not calling someone a name. Ffs. That is a descriptor.

"You are being naive"

Is not the same as

"Dumbass"

Still an insult, which falls under name calling in my book

Telling someone that they are being naive is not an insult. You should be old enough to understand that by this point in your life.

Telling someone when they are being naive when they don't agree with you is an insult. It is meant to dismiss them with a hand wave.

You may find it insulting, but that doesn't mean it's incorrect and it most certainly is not name-calling.
