There seems to be a bit of judgement involved in the implementation of the rule. I've seen threads that began as a debate which started elsewhere wherein the OP focused on a particular argument made by a particular person, maybe even quoting them in the OP. I suppose focus on the argument itself rather than the person might have had something to do with these threads not being deleted.

*Harrumph* [Looks at AF Bible, Chapter 13 verse 666]. Oops, there is no scripture to cover this, must resort to reason and logic.

I think it's more about using logic and common sense. If the intent is there to maliciously call out another member then, yeah, it's obviously a rule violation. If the intent is to continue a topic that spun off from another thread, and you mention the person, because well, you want to take the discussion further without disrupting the original thread, then I wouldn't consider that calling out.
The birthday threads aren't calling anyone out because it's not being done with malicious intent.
Creating a thread that baits a certain person into responding, that's calling out as well, I would think. For example, we know certain members on here are never in the majority of many of the more heated topics of conversation, so starting a thread which would cause those particular persons to respond negatively, in my opinion, would be considered calling them out. The reasoning is because you wouldn't be expecting a response from anyone else who would agree with the majority POV that the thread topic would be based on, therefore you are trying to bait those with differing opinions into responding angrily.
That's my understanding of it anyway.

The person can always remake the thread in a way that removes focus from forum members, if possible.

I suppose they could, but I think the main reason why they start "spin off" threads from existing threads is to continue discussion in a way that doesn't detract from the original thread and in order to do that, sometimes mentioning the person or giving credit to them for the post that got a ball rolling, is, in my opinion, okay to do.

I was excited when I got that PM and sorely disappointed after reading it. I mean, if you’re gonna spam about sex at least make it entertaining. Damn

IF I'm going to read a book like that it had better have a centerfold.
