I always took it as namedropping had to have intent behind it.

In my opinion, if you're giving feedback on the site, saying 'the GM' is the same as saying the person's name. If your intent is not to bash the person directly, but to offer feedback on the way said person has taken the site in a polite or constructive manner, then I would not call that namedropping and it would not be removed.

Now, saying that <so and so> is a <insult here> would be namedropping as well as flaming, depending on the severity of the insult.
