At what point does verbal abuse warrant a physical response?

No. Unless they said (and were quite truthful) that they were going to kill you.

A physical response?
If you mean 'leaving the room' then the answer is whenever you feel it's appropriate.

Most are conditioned, through spanking, that when someone disobeys you it's okay to physically reprimand them.

I noticed your mom walking down the street and she was just wearing one shoe and asked her, "Hey, did you lose a shoe?" She replied, "No, I found one."

The key is to sling enough verbal abuse in return to make him take the first swing. Then it's on. 😀

spanking is just showing from an athoritative position that you (spanked) has done something wrong, and that your actions will have consequenses, and at such a young age its accepted that a physical type of disipline is the quickest method for behavioral modification. for example, child goes on rampant destructive streak through the house, purposly breaking stuff. the kid is 5, would you give the kid a spanking to show that breaking things is not ok? or would you take away his TV privlages? (yes i was spanked as a child)
back on topic; while i do belive that spanking (within reason) is a viable punishment for children, that same rule dosn't apply to adults. it is reasonable to expect tolerance against verbal abuse, although every person does have there breaking point, at which some sort of retaliation is VERY possible. whether or not that physical response is justifide is something different. just that everyone cracks eventually.
