Folks:  My sense is that it usually creates a nicer tone for people
to call each other by their full names, first names, or
title-plus-last-name, rather than just by last name alone.  It also
usually creates a nicer tone for people not to talk about others'
"peddl[ing]" their views (whether myths or otherwise) -- substantive
arguments are of course entirely proper, but argument by pejorative term
generally is not helpful, I think.
