"Smart arse" is name-calling.

Why don't you step back from the keyboard for a bit and cool down. Might do you some good.

Try it in a IRL conversation and see how quickly someone gets annoyed with you. It won't be very long.

I said "If you are going to be a smart arse". Which means "If you are going to engage in this behaviour then ...".

I never called anyone names.

I am perfectly fine. I can be mildly annoyed by someone and still be quite rational.

Also this sort of statement is close to concern trolling.
