I find that it would be yet another step into people being controlled and brainwashed. Sure, nobody may like to be called fat, gay, slut, whathaveyou, but does it hurt anybody? Let me answer that for you, not in any way, shape, or form. The exceptions have to be threats of violence, like "I'm going to find you and murder your mother", because then you could actually hurt somebody. It makes no difference to me if this was said to or by a woman or a man.
It doesn't hurt anyone, and most people don't care, but the violator should still suffer some form of punishment because he's causing inconvenience to everyone in the game. If we just ignored them because we didn't care, it would be like letting a troll run around posting shit everywhere on a forum without banning him.
This sentence is what I think should be the proper response to such insults in a nutshell:
Gamer A: "YOU FAT SLUTTY, AND SUCK DICK!!111!!"
Gamer B: "Oho, you so funny, but...no, you get off this server right now because you're annoying the people here."
