[Avodah] name calling

[Joel Rich]

------------------------------

דְּתַנְיָא: הַקּוֹרֵא לַחֲבֵירוֹ ״עֶבֶד״ – יְהֵא בְּנִידּוּי. ״מַמְזֵר״ –
סוֹפֵג אֶת הָאַרְבָּעִים. ״רָשָׁע״ – יוֹרֵד עִמּוֹ לְחַיָּיו!
as it is taught in a baraita: One who calls another a slave shall be
ostracized. One who calls another a mamzer incurs the punishment of forty
lashes. If one calls another a wicked person then the insulted person may
harass him in all aspects of his life. In light of this halakha, it is
clear that the court will not force the accused to respond to this insult
by taking an oath.

Any thoughts on which is worse and why the specific punishments?
