Someone can say 'just words' to you, but it can have a huge effect of your life: your choices, your feelings...

So yes it's good to have a thick skin and not take everything personally, but I think it's our individual responsibility to use appropriate language so we dont accidentally ruin someone's day when we didn't mean to at all.

I certainly agree.
