How about using real names for people in the news?
So we started with "Dances With Wolves", then came "Runs With Scissors", and now we have "Showers With Children". Yikes. Things are going downhill in a hurry.

In my opinion using their name gives them credibility they don’t deserve

I call them what they are.

If I were doing what this thread is about, it would involve complaining about (for example) "crapper189" or "enstinkmatic"...

You’re using your words to express displeasure with how others on the forum choose to use their words. Not just you of course.

We don’t separate actions from people like we do arguments. Attack the argument, not the person, right?.

It is not the same with a person’s actions. People are defined by their actions. Attacking a person’s actions is attacking the person. When you call a person’s word choices infantile, you are in fact calling some portion of the person infantile. That’s name calling. When a person chooses to call Biden, Bidet, that person is name calling as well.
