`Name-calling' is a idiom in English that means applying insulting words to people. `Name-calling' does not necessarily entail naming specific persons, who in this case you implied by context. I know English may not be your first language, so here's a couple of dictionary entries if you would like to read further: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/name-calling https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/name-calling If you want to argue semantics about how to describe how you're being insulting before you apologize, please take it off the list.
