I think you're choosing an example that is lower-severity than the topic on the table.

If someone just walks up and calls me a jerk (and, well, we ignore the particulars of the words they used and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fighting_words), I agree.

If they do it every day, every hour, or call my house 24 times a day, I can legally compel them to stop.

this is a user posting on an issue tracker, so your example doesn't hold either.
