Often it is done to avoid discussing the merits of somebody's opinions or actions (not always of course).

Long before NationStates (as in 1990), this subject was debated to death:

edit: my point is that it can depend upon the situtation, but in many cases it *is* nothing more than name calling, and thus it can easily be flaming or flame baiting <--- but that is something for our moderators to decide on a case-by-case basis.
