Not only is this completely unacceptable in an etiquette sense but it's completely unreasonable. Lalafells aren't weightless, and while they're small their weight range is still likely between 50-100lbs at least. Not to mention how rude and demeaning it is on an IC degree. (Sure, lots of lalafell players wouldn't mind it, but still.)
People do that? I was mentally prepared for things like:
"Hey, short stuff."
"We shouldn't bring ___ with us, he probably would be too short to hit the enemy."
and "Oh my gods, a lalafell in armor! Can you please dance for us?"
But the example you just gave would really piss me off. I realize that it's kind of the risk you take when choosing lalafell, but it still bothers me. No RPer should just assume they can man-handle anyone's character. Just because someone is playing a smaller character doesn't mean the rules change. Hopefully with my lala alt I'll be RPing with players who have manners, or at very least the logical sense to know that a lalafell in full plate armor with a large shield isn't going to be thrown around like a pillow.
I only have a few flimsy ideas for my character, but I already know he'd be pissed IC if that happened to him.
