His meaning is that being called a bad name doesn't necessarily make it true, and by "it just shows how poor that person is" means that it shows you how terrible one person can be to spread rumors or insult someone behind their back. I agree with his view because his view is true on all points. It shows how bad people can be. A real world example would be like if your ex is spreading terrible rumors about you, or saying you were a terrible person. However, they go around and spread nasty rumors and call you names, only showing their true colors. Hope this helped!
