Do you really want to establish a precedent for blanket name calling here, Drich?
I would add here that, although it may be an earnest desire of one party or the other to make particular the terms that which should apply to an argument in particular, or that of another, for instance, if one were arguing from the perspective that a god/gods are evil, that does not necessarily make them a dystheist. They may simply be arguing from within the hypothetical or fictional universe, the same way that people argue about fictional characters.
One can be an atheist and still comment on the morality of god within the fictional context that most of us place him, the same as we can comment on the fact that Harry Potter is being a typical whiny, angst-ridden teenager in the Order of the Phoenix.
If you believe it, question it. If you question it, get an answer. If you have an answer, does that answer satisfy reality? Does it satisfy you? Probably not. For no one else will agree with you, not really.
