"quite vicious" is overstatement here.

Not really.  Your "facepalm" didn't seem to be written as
humor but more as an expression of your exasperation.

Many words are emotional or conflictual.

Saying "stupid" is emotional and also has no technical content.

Stupid is used here all the time.  Happily, it's generally used
as a reference to self and not about others.

However it is still occasionally and unfortunately used when
referencing proposed code or other person's behaviors.

Thankfully, these types of words are being used less and less
in discussions here.

I agree with David and Eric that it's generally better to avoid
these word choices.
