We have all had the experience described here. That is, a person delivers verbal poison while hiding in the tall grass. The antidote to this poison is to ask the person, “Is that a poison dart gun you have there?” My experience has been that the person in question, hiding their poison dart gun, will say, “No, not I,” in which case I can reply. “Well now, I could have sworn that you blew a dart at me! But I’m glad to know of your honesty.” With so many dart blowers in the world I normally let them off. However, in that rare case where the dart blower admits to his actions, I find that useful conversations about inflicting evil on another can happen.
