That would be a hard limit for me as well. There's just something about verbal abuse that is so totally different and worse than physical discipline. I think, for me, it's that having a somewhat structured "You did this, so I'll spank you/no dinner etc." punishment represents that I was naughty, and must be punished. But being yelled at that I'm an idiot is not. A spanking disciplines for one wrongdoing, and afterwards, you are forgiven. Being called a comeplete idiot...that's permanent. You're not saying they're only worthless for a few minutes, you're permanently cutting them down. Also, just somehow, somehow indescribable, verbally being shut down is just different and much, much more painful than physical punishment. It just makes you feel completely unloved, not at all like I'm being taught a lesson, more like I'm being rejected. Well, that's my input.
