"Shunybunny" is name calling and ridicule, and "Shuny, you're acting just as immature as the clowns being mocked!" is mudslinging.
Y'all can't seem to help only calling out one side.

I can't help thinking that's why you're having trouble seeing this.
But maybe I'm wrong. Maybe one of Shuny's responses was more immature than say, a crying baby:
