I learned the Yad haQetanah as you did. However, I see the Kesef Mishnah
as saying thee Rambam was only excluding yelling or hitting that didn't
come from the sin'ah. That if lo sisna is assur if not expressed, lo kol
shekein it would be assur if the person acts on it too.

And thus saw a machloqes as to how the Rambam understands the issur.

Tir'u baTov!
