Name-calling. Focus on the post, not the person. That includes terms that feel personal even when they're applied to posts (like "lazy", "ignorant", or "whiny").

If you don't agree with other users who voted to close or migrate the question, you can just state the reasons why you don't agree and ask other users to migrate it back to ELU. It could be more efficient to post a request on ELL Meta.

Not only will it be against the community-driven mechanism of Stack Exchange, but also it could lock basic and ELL questions such as Can I use "has" after being a noun?Can I use "has" after being a noun?. This question has been asked and answered repeatedly. I wonder what makes you think this kind of basic learner's question should be answered again on ELU.

Should this question be answered by linguistics professors or real language enthusiasts? I don't think so. This question should have been closed as duplicate or lack of research.

I also feel that people whose primary tag is for SWRs shouldn't be able to close-vote questions which don't have a SWR tag, but that's another question

Users who continuously ignore the guidelines of ELU and answer off-topic and basic questions shouldn't be able to vote to reopen a question, either. You should raise this issue on Meta SE.
