Because, well, it pertains - and even pertains to situations where something is being done that is damaging and bad, and the "use your words" is not necessarily going to get you what you want (and if done without serious finesse can end up with things getting a lot worse), but is not so egregious that it balances off, say, cutting all contact with someone who raised you and is otherwise very important.

I like Captain Awful a whole lot, but it's sometimes clear to me that the commenters and maybe even CA have never been in a situation where "use your words" is just going to make things a lot worse, and then it becomes a kind of frying-pan-fire dilemma of, Do I just take this shit like I have been all my life, or do I risk setting off even bigger fireworks by not going along with it? Especially since there's that "change BACK" reaction where a lot of people, when faced with different behaviour, will do their almighty best to make you return to the status quo.
