but is it useful to address all of them individually?
In this particular context I think so, yes. The point is that instead of arguing “You insulted the OP! No, I did not!” you can gesture in the direction of item #17 and say “This is exactly what you did”. The more specific the items are, the more difficult it is to wiggle out.

Yeah, I can imagine all those:
”No, I didn’t insult… I just provided a feedback about why OP is an uneducated idiot!”
(This is not meant ironically; people often have a good reason why they insult others for the greater good.)
