Please see the definition of rebuttal (act of rebutting), in particular the second usage. Using a term like butthurt is in no way a rebuttal, effective, blunt, or otherwise. However this is not the place to have this discussion, as it will quickly degenerate into a flamewar and is completely off topic. If you wish to talk about this more we should do so in PM. I can also explain the purpose behind the emoticons and why they are necessary in the context of a text only medium.
