Summary

This quote suggests that when people resort to insults in a discussion or argument, it is often because they do not have valid or strong arguments to support their viewpoint. Instead, insults are used as a way to attack the other person personally rather than addressing the actual topic at hand. Thus, insulting language can be seen as an indication of someone's weakness in defending their position, as it deflects from rational and logical discourse.
