As a person who played a Gnome Warrior in WoW (Gnomish Infantry and Proud!), I agree that there's few things more annoying than those metagame behaviors -- and the best way to deal with them, IMO, is to respond appropriately IC. I know my gnome would've responded to being abruptly picked up with a throat punch to the offending party.
And, of course, that sort of response IC, if picked up by enough RPers, will set the tenor of IC interactions across the server. If enough Lalafell refuse to be treated like cute children, that'll influence the IC reactions to Lalafell in general -- not to mention that I just don't see Lalafell responding too well to that sort of treatment in setting.
I already have "Shut your godsdamned mouth." prepared for the most dire situations.
