I disagree entirely with the OP. Sometimes, the only thing one can do is call someone names.

Names! Names! Na-a-a-a-a-ames! _ **NAMES** _!!!

Take that, you stinker.

Well isn’t this just the spank daddy! Fenris, I couldn’t agree with you more and I’m glad I have this opportunity to inform you that you and you ALONE are solely responsible for the little man, friends and foe affectionately referring to me as their little ‘slutkitten’. Oh sure, it’s all fun and games… ‘til someone gets hurt!  
TOEJAM!

Miller – well, I never do bother my pretty little head about topic really… I just expound…thanks for getting the jist of it anyway! 😉

SPOOFE – you, you, you POSTER! … ah… but I love you anyway… such is the shame of my love! 🙂

Kopi – sure, it’s all fun until “someone loses an eye”… that’s what my brother said about lively debates, anyway. By the way, do you need my eye patch?

We are? \<notes to self…remember, pretend you’re human\>…I mean, of course we are! We’re all residents of Sol III together, and none of us have tentacles or pseudopods! Nope!

How 'bout troll? Can I keep troll? It’s the only name I ever use? Please please please please please!

Wait a minute. I’m a rough-and-tough Barbarian.  
\<reasserts self\>

I will call people trolls if they damn well deserve it! So there!
