Insulting behavior refers to words, actions or other ways that degrade, insult and insult others and infringe upon their reputation, personal dignity and other legitimate rights and interests. In the insult, even if the name is not directly named, as long as it can be determined that it is directed at a specific individual, the insult may still exist.
