Probably not in the moment, but my emotional response doesn't determine the ethics of the situation. I seem to recall "Do not repay evil for evil, instead overcome evil by doing good." and "Do not resist an evil person, if anyone slaps you on the cheek turn to him the other."
Violence in all forms is evil, and "do not resist an evil person" isn't qualified with anything indicating that there's a point that resistance should be offered. So it doesn't matter if its an insult or life threatening, Jesus said not to resist.
I suppose if you're not worried about context that might sound like he was telling them to engage in violence, but the fact that his response to them saying they had two swords among them was "that is enough." indicates that it wasn't some kind of call to violence.
