I don't know the context, but if you use a word that's just a stand-in for another word it's still an insult. There's a difference between "bucko" (which might get hit for trolling, in context) and "you're a so-and-so," where we're going to make a reasonable assumption that you're trying to insult someone. So not all insults are going to be hit for abusive, they might fall under trolling if anything, and minor ones would probably net you a NWD or NKL without history.

I can't see any way to read in that "tag" moderation that would make it not abusive. "I can't call you what I want" still directly implies you're attempting to call someone something bad. If anything that just looks worse for you.

Yeah, you can't call users racist, even if they are. If they're directly harassing you, mark it and explain. Keep in mind, there's a difference between someone insulting you and someone rudely disagreeing with you. And just because you don't see a post disappear doesn't mean it wasn't actioned. Again, if you see someone being racist - mark it. Someone else breaking the rules doesn't give you the right to break the rules in response.

"All X are Y" (where X is not "a literal murderer" and Y is something abusive/offensive) is usually going to get modded, implied or otherwise. You can't make sweeping generalizations. Again, if you see someone making a sweeping post saying "all liberals/Democrats are <bad thing>" mark it.
