They should change their language because name-calling is not an effective method of communication.

Wouldn't we be more 'peaceful' if people used civil language to communicate?

A lot of umpires don't handle things the way they should on a baseball field for fear of confrontation too. If you fight fires for a living, you're a firefighter. If you grow corn, you're a farmer. If you wait for and take the opportunity to cross the line and undercut union workers, you're a scab. Think of it this way: your name is what is given you by your parents, your title is what you do. I'm not calling names; I don't know their names, but I can address them by their title which is apparent by their actions.
