Funny you should say that. In my culture beating around the bush with irrational accusations is considered a grave insult that can only be resolved with an old fashioned duel. Choose your assistant at your earliest convenience.

whom did I insult?

An insult is not an argument.

Being insulted is indeed the right feeling if you still have a sense of personal agency left.

Not sure why you're being downvoted. The email is confrontational, the tone is accusing, but I don't see actual insults.

Look into it before posting insult, perhaps? Its reasonable, arguable, and probably right.

CydeWeys | karma 28315 | avg karma 3.91 · | 2019-02-14 19:16:48

Probably best to just not defend childish insults at all then.

If someone cant handle a verbal insult over the internet, I don't think they are fit for office

You already called the same people crude. I’m calling them irrational. If one is an “insult” so is the other.

What was the insult?

Being insulted is an "attack"?

"Insulting" is the best bang for the buck as far as non-denial denials go: unlike "absurd" or "ridiculous", it comes with an implicit request for an apology from the other party.

someone insulted first

sidlls | karma 10891 | avg karma 2.94 · | 2018-09-20 01:39:40+00:00

I'd argue some people are hypercritical and instigate conflict by gratuitous insult.

xigoi | karma 2476 | avg karma 1.22 · | 2022-09-26 05:27:16

Baseless insults are a great way to indicate that you don't have an argument.

eloff | karma 14985 | avg karma 3.31 · | 2019-09-17 18:15:57+00:00

Don't be overly pedantic, verbal attacks are a thing.

rand846633 | karma 309 | avg karma 2.92 · | 2021-09-23 08:45:33

Insulting a whole profession because of some apparent mistakes of an individual seems quite idiotic as well.

hfkwer | karma 252 | avg karma 2.65 · | 2023-05-14 15:46:43

Are insults really necessary?

dreamdu5t | karma 1914 | avg karma 1.43 · | 2014-08-09 01:56:51

Personal insults aren't an argument.

johnisgood | karma 2278 | avg karma 1.02 · | 2019-08-16 13:45:29+00:00

I don't think he is justifying it, it's just that you need to be able to deal with insults in a healthy way. Stoicism comes to mind.
