I can't let this go unchallenged. Words can hurt. Words can kill. The rules let us judge words as unsportsmanlike for a reason. Words DO matter. I've seen situations where I wished it was sticks and stones instead of words that were being thrown. If you really think words aren't as strong as sticks and stones, sit through a day or two in the office of the principal of an elementary school. I can only hope you haven't raised children.
