I'm not sure that 'they' put the hostile and abusive nickname issue in the way in the first place.
I'm not sure that 'their real problems' are entirely unrelated to the hostile and abusive nickname issue.
I'm really not sure that 'their' problems are exclusively theirs.
I'm pretty sure that people interested in affecting these problems 'real' or otherwise are capable of focusing on more than one thing at the same time.

We all live in stories... It seems to me that a definition of any living vibrant society is that you constantly question those stories... The argument itself is freedom. It's not that you come to a conclusion about it. Through that argument you change your mind sometimes... That's how societies grow. When you can't retell for yourself the stories of your life then you live in a prison... Somebody else controls the story. - S. Rushdie
