How is calling someone a hypocrite an insult?!
Hypocrite: a person who acts in contradiction to his or her stated beliefs or feelings
Arco felt like Korvacs didn't know what he was talking about and called him a hypocrite because of his signature. Completely justified yet I feel it was still incorrect.
Calling someone a hypocrite is not an insult.

In the form he used it, I'd consider it an insult towards Korvacs.
His previous sentence showed that in his mind, there was nothing wrong with his previous posts/responses Korvacs had pointed out, and no matter how hard you try, you won't change his mind (in other words, childhood narcissism/selfishness or "immaturity", the "I'm right and you're wrong no matter what" mentality).
This response is usually backed with an insult, and in this case, he found an available insult from Korvacs' signature, and called him a 'hypocrite' because Korvac's disagreed with what he thought (him not being immature), thus insulting him, but in a weaker form.
That's my take on it. x.x
edit: Korvacs may be a hypocrite (or not), but he used it as a comeback from what Korvacs posted, thus in my opinion, it became an insult against Korvacs.
