I have yet to see any of these words used appropriately by people who love the game blindly, detractors or constructive critics. They're all effectively flamebait and basically stand-ins for profanity or encourage stand-ins for profanity.
Some of these might have a place in a descriptive post (ie. tech support) but no good can come from any of these terms being bandied about in general discussion.
The first two are basically profanity and non-descriptive, easily applied insults lobbed at anyone.
The last five get applied to situations that a poster doesn't like but which rarely fits the description.
For example, they're all commonly lobbed at the C-Store. Which is funny because as far as I know, it always offers the services it promises, doesn't take from anyone who doesn't voluntarily spend, is advertised and while it may be a greedy cashgrab in the minds of some, it's a BLATANT cashgrab, if anything, not a sneaky or underhanded one. I mean, everyone seems to accuse Cryptic and eachother of dishonesty or con games but while I'm not going to 100% defend everything Cryptic or players do, I haven't seen any evidence of insincerity or trickery.
I don't think players or critics of the game are consciously or intentionally trying to sabotage anything, expressing opinions they don't hold... And I don't think Cryptic has conveyed any information that could be construed as an intentional miscommunication or actively withheld relevant information intentionally even when they did perhaps fail to communicate some things.
The other thing about the CStore is they said what you buy there you can get else where in the game if you play enough, which is a way so it is not just about what someone spends, making for a larger competive pool at the top.
1, 2, and 4 should definitely be abolished. Then we'd just come up with other words to call each other, but hey.. at least it would force us to be creative.
Could you add Chat to that list?
Other than that... Would not complain if they did add fanboy and all it's variations to the list because it is getting boring to see it being used as an insult allover the place.

So hard to insult the CStore at all.
