Words may just be words, but if one tells some one to 'fuck off' there is not much question but what the intent is to insult, put down, or offend. Same with calling people pricks, dicks, bastards, assholes, ass wipes, cunts, whores, bitches, douchebags, etc. Words are only words. But communication is about intent, and when used as noted, especially in written communication, the words are clearly intended to insult and disrepect the humanity or integrity of the other individual.
