when is something an insult?

[HoreTore]

I can't see how the one making a comment can be the one deciding how it should be interpreted.

The insulted must be allowed to react however he wants to a statement, including feeling insulted. And if someone feels insulted, how can that not be called an insult? I say it's a subjective feeling that must necessarily be decided by the one on the receiving end.


This, however, does not in any way mean that anyone should ever care that someone else gets insulted.
