There is a huge difference between what Trixie did (initially to silence hecklers at her show and later in a weird 'revenge for revenge' circle of hatred). Additionally, remember that Trixie's really sick behaviour was essentially entirely driven by the Alicorn Amulet, a definite Dark artifact that seems to have twisted her mind.

Bluey, on the other hand, was just a jerk because he's a spoiled, entitled little colt in a stallion's body. He doesn't have much of a reasonable excuse for being nasty to Rarity other than the fact that he clearly has no idea how else he's supposed to behave. So, he's either a jerk or an idiot.

You've obviously never been to a live comedy performance. It's going on all the time. Throwing wisecracks and insults back at hecklers and the peanut gallery is nearly standard procedure and certainly something any decent live performer has learned to do when needed.
