If You Spill The Coffee - Say I Am Sorry!

I think it is important for humanity to understand the difference between ego and the true self.
A lot of the time offensive comments and arguments is just the ego trying to defend and justify itself, it has invested a lot in its image and its number 1 rule is to protect its investment. Because in the end the ego is not real, its just an illusion.
When someone tries to hurt you with words. Can they really hurt you, or are they hurting the ego?
As the very wise poem goes. Sticks and stone may break my bones but names will never hurt me.

That's a deep level of self-control.. Yes, when you recognize your ego and know whether you're the one being hurt or is it your ego, then this brings you a totally new level of self-control and perception of other people's words. That's the receiver side of the story. As for the senders, the people who through out the words, they are still responsible for what they say regardless of the receiver's perception.
