Why do you think the offended party gets to decide what's insulting? They get to decide whether they sue, but the judge still decides whether it actually was an insult.

You still have the right to express your opinion. Insults are just not an opinion. You can say "I think you are ugly and support heavy government measures to protect the rights of other people". You can't say "You're a bootlicking chud".
