thread_title: Excessive undo/redo's - please discuss!

message: isagree with this sentence: “Because of this, victims may fall into clinical depression, posttraumatic stress disorder, and become introverted.” It implies that introversion is somehow a condition or mental illness. I have removed the last part since there are no sources for the statement anyway. --S.dedalus (talk) 00:47, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Introversion

message: The extensive list of terms that could be verbal abuse seems unencyclopedic. Is it really necessary to list different, cruel ways to say fat or ugly? I recommend deleting this section because of its redundant "naughty word" tone.Naniwako (talk) 19:12, 14 June 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: List of terms

message: can reciprocate w/physical abuse,just be quick to act and definitive w/your actions.
I am removing this content because it sounds like advice on how to deal with verbal abuse, as opposed to encyclopedic content involving verbal abuse. It is also entirely void of citations. Accelerometer (talk) 04:59, 27 November 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  "Advice" on receiving verbal abuse  

message: "The underlying factor in the dynamic of verbal abuse is the abuser’s low regard for him or herself. The abuser attempts to place their victim in a position to believe similar things about him or herself, a form of warped projection."
I disagree with this part, especially the second statement - can someone provide a source? I'm no expert, but from related material that I have read, it really doesn't seem to fit (certainly not in all cases). Can any experts verify this/provide some thoughts?219.89.86.49 (talk) 05:16, 3 February 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Low Regard for Him or Herself 

message: I find the following sentence problematic:
 "If started at a young age, verbal abuse contributes to codependency, borderline personality disorder, narcissistic personality disorder, and other psychological disorders that often plague many people into adulthood."
It may be true that exposure to verbal (or any kind of) abuse of young people leads to many conditions in adulthood but the sentence gives the impression that exposure in adulthood makes the latter group immune to downstream conditions. If it is really so, it needs to be stated clearly and marked with a reliable reference.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Esery (talk • contribs) 13:10, 12 September 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Clarification and/or source for the "young age" 

message: Please bear with me. I am a relative newbie to Wikipedia and so far have only done a few minor edits such as spelling corrections and grammar. As I am mentally and physically disabled and chronically sick I need to keep things as simple as possible. I have a copy of this article which I saved in my psychology folder on 14th November 2010. I am using the items in my psychology folder for self education and for psychotherapy and for passing on links and referrals to others. I recently prepared some minor addition edits offline in Windows Notepad for part of this article but have not yet had the opportunity to add them. I was dismayed when I looked at the article again online today to find that most of the content has disappeared, including the part to which I wanted to add my edits. Most of my distress is because the bits that have disappeared were the simplest and the most helpful bits for the victims of verbal abuse. Why have they been removed? Please could they be put back? Was there a problem with copyright on those portions? The article appears to me to have been vandalized and seems to be nothing more than an advertisement for one particular book and all the rest of the content has been removed. I am therefore not going to overwrite my old copy of this article with the new one as I usually do with Wikipedia pages on my computer. I am very disappointed. I have just referred some people to this article and now it does not contain the bits I particularly wanted them to read; and the work which I have taken the trouble to do is now useless.81.99.104.50 (talk) 13:43, 21 November 2011 (UTC)

thread_title:  huh 

message: At this time, I'm unprepared to go deeply into this research but I decided to begin the discussion. 
Indirect verbal abuse includes
* showboating - an indirect way of saying the other person is inadequate
* defamation - talking about someone behind her back
* the silent treatment (maybe a stretch but http://www.emotionalabuseanswers.org/emoabu/what-is-emotional-abuse/verbal-abuse/ makes me think it might belong.
It seems many of the existing types of verbal abuse (like chronic forgetting) are also forms of indirect verbal abuse. Thinking of this now, it might not be verbal abuse but indirect abuse.

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: The article states that verbal abuse can also be "withholding any response".
Does "minding your own business" means violence?
What if a person curses me and I ignore him? How come I'm defined as a verbal abuser as well?
Can this issue be clarified?
What is the source for this definition?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kilaka (talk • contribs) 15:26, 6 April 2017 (UTC)
