well.. lets see, we use premade copyrighted character's that we have
no permission to use in storys.. so I dont think going that much further

Actually, there's a big difference.  It's a lot more personal, and has much
more potential to hurt your feelings and reputation, when you're targeted
instead of some imaginary characters you made up.
