If diplomacy is more of an art than a science, which I think it is, then there are no formal rules. If call someone evil and ignoring them gets the response one wants and eventually leads to agreement on certain issues - I would call it diplomacy.
But, I can see how people who went to "diplomacy school" and has been in many theoretical diplomacy discussions with others who went to "diplomacy school" but has never been face to face engaged in real world diplomacy see it differently.
