I do not like abuse in any shape or form. So, ofcourse that includes verbal abuse. To me, it only 'proves' the poster feels 'out of control' and is 'lowering' (is that good English?) her-/himself to this kind of behaviour.
This is just how I look at this. I try not to do this myself, because if I am being abusive towards anyone, I do not feel good about myself.
