A word can be a horrible weapon -- calling someone a name, or accusing them of being unethical, or insinuating ulterior motives to someone -- all these put words out there as brutal and hurtful weapons. I would like to say that I have never spoken or written ill of anyone else --- but even in this simple blog that assertion is problematic.
Why? Because people have alternate views of the truth; because people disagree on what is real or not; because people view events differently. From my point of view I can only try to be "venom-free" but I cannot guarantee it.
