@Calestous You've missed point of old adage; WORDS can't thmslves physically injure. Socially mature ppl do NOT respond w/phys harming acts. -
@KittyAntonik Old adage indeed. Words cause enduring injuries to the human spirit than swords do to the body. -
@Calestous Whatever emotional pain 1 experiences from words is up 2 receiver of words. THAT is the meaning of the adage<=lost on many today -
@KittyAntonik l agree. But behind every sharp tongue sits the readiness to spill blood. -
@Calestous Not necessrily. Many writers eg HLMencken & GBShaw had VERY sharp tongues but nevr violent. Holding ppl responsible 4 ACTS = key. -
@KittyAntonik Wit differs from insult. Emotional edge of former is dulled by intellect. None of this is evident in current fiasco. -
@Calestous Whether wit or insult in "eye of beholder". Still WORDS. Rcver's intellect lack = hir problem. Wide range thinker NOT use insult.
