Rebukes are not boastful trash talk or characterised by hyperbole in any form, they are based in valid, verifiable, and well reasoned observation. Ten shown remarkable restraint in repeatedly asking you to justify your personal remarks, which you've failed to do... so far.

================

Rebuke: express sharp disapproval or criticism of (someone) because of their behavior or actions.

"she had rebuked him for drinking too much"

synonyms:

reprimand, reproach, scold, admonish, reprove, chastise, upbraid, berate, take to task, criticize, censure

Trash-talk is a form of boast or insult commonly heard in competitive situations (such as sports events and multiplayer video games). It is often used to intimidate the opposition, but can also be used in a humorous spirit. Trash-talk is often characterized by use of hyperbole, or figurative language, e.g., "Mikael Johansson can't run! You run like honey on ice!" Puns and other wordplay are commonly used.

There is a difference.
