Brief Insight
ONA'AS DEVARIM

A person may not afflict his friend with words; he may not tell a Ba'al Teshuvah remember your previous deeds.
He may not tell the son of Geirim remember the deeds of you fathers. Why doesn't the Mishnah state regarding a Ger as well that one shall not remind him of his previous deeds? The Maharsha explains that a Ger has no reason to be embarrassed about his previous deeds because he is even better than a person who was born Jewish as he left the way of the non-Jews and went under the canopy of the Shechinah. A Ba'al Teshuvah on the other hand was commanded in the Mitzvos and even so he sinned so and therefore his previous deeds are an embarrassment to him.
Quick Halachah
THE PROHIBITION OF ONA'AH

Just a there is Ona'ah regarding purchases so too there is a Ona'ah with regards to words and Ona'ah of words is worst than Ona'ah of money because money may be returned while words can't be taken back and because words are while money is not on the Guf. Someone who cries out as a result of Ona'ah of words will be punished immediately. According to some opinions the prohibition of Ona'ah of words only applies to those who fear Hashem. If someone who causes Ona'ah to himself it is permitted to cause Ona'ah to him. One must be very careful not to cause Ona'ah to a Ger whether it is Ona'ah of words or Ona'ah of money because the Torah warns about a Ger in many places. (Shulchan Aruch CM 228:1, 2)
Chakirah
If the townspeople sent their Shekalim to the Beis ha'Mikdash with a Shali'ach and it is stolen or lost on the way if they were Torem the Lishkah before they were aware that it was lost the Shali'ach swears to the treasurer that he was not negligent. Shmuel says the Shevu'ah of the Shali'ach is for the purpose of allowing him to collect his wages if he is a Shomer Sachar. Why does he have to swear in order to collect his wages?
