I used Meriiam Webster Online

Yes, Smith has been called worse - does that justify treating each other similarly, or should we excersize some restraint and judgement?

Ecc 5

Ecclesiastes 5 Stand in Awe of God 1 Guard your steps when you go to the house of God. Go near to listen rather than to offer the sacrifice of fools, who do not know that they do wrong. 2 Do not be quick with your mouth, do not be hasty in your heart to utter anything before God. God is in heaven and you are on earth, so let your words be few. 3 As a dream comes when there are many cares, so the speech of a fool when there are many words.
