And yet teenagers still commit suicide because of online harassment. So words do hurt, and can even kill.


Words may hurt. No one denied this. Saying words killed because of the actions a person took after being hurt is incredibly disingenuous. Only the person who took the action is responsible.


That's a fairly ignorant view on mental state and peer group pressures on developing adolescent minds.


I didn't say they don't. I said that 'hurt feelings' are not grounds for a criminal nor civil legal case.
