That's not personal abuse.

If I call Bob a shit, that is personal abuse. I am saying he is garbage, and that is wrong.

If I say Bob is full of shit, that is saying he is wrong. If I am correct in my assessment of is incorrectness, that is right. If I am incorrect in my assessment, then I am full of shit.

If I say Bob took a shit, that is a factual observation. It can be right or wrong, depending on if Bob was actually the one who stunk up the bathroom.

In this case Bob was either lying or misguidedly saying stupid shit, which is why he was told he was spreading shit. Bob was wrong.

It was not an attack on Bob, it was a rebuke of Bob's incorrect statement. When you say stupid shit like that, you're spreading shit.
