Then maybe I missed the point of the comparison. Why would we care if speech is considered abusive of not?
From the perspective of the article, hurtful speech (abuse), is and always will be subject to the interpretation of the listener. As such it will always change with time and context.
Anything can be interpreted as abusive speech at any time. It is not a consensus definition.
