So if a theist and an atheist are debating whether infinite regression requires God, and someone comes in and says, "Hey guys, I haven't read the first 20 pages of this thread-- is this fucker quoting scripture yet? He's such a loser, don't expect a rational argument from him." I would say that's an inappropriate entry to the thread.
It might be inappropriate but that's not calling out. Not by what the forum rules state, and not by any understanding of 'calling out' I've heard of.
Also, I don't see why what you said should be against the rules at all. I'm all for whacking spammers and getting rid of trolls, but if the forum was just a place where everyone boringly had 'civil discussions' that were always on point and topic, my god, leave me out of that thanks.
