1) You're just one person. It's not the same as insulting millions of people at once.
2) We know one another, and that degree of familiarity takes the edge off any such comments.
3) It's usually in context, not a disembodied attack.
4) Calling somebody a fool is not quite as severe as calling them "SOOOOOOoo god awful ugly".
