I don't entirely understand what that means. I could tease you unmercifully. But hurt you? Why would I do that? IMO you are as open to teasing as I am. But hurting? No. I find your name-calling that I see as intended to deride, not tease, unpleasant and distracting from the point. I've read many interesting posts from you lately. I've learned from them. But derision teaches nothing. Teasing makes for fun between friends.

Maybe it is like a heated... discussion... I had a couple of years ago with friends. One thought it was funny to joke about killing someone that pissed them off. Now for me, who has seen killing... I know the reality of that unlike most folks. I only say I will kill someone if I mean it. It's neverever a joke.

Maybe that's not the right example, but it's close.
