sigh I couldn't disagree any more strongly.
1) This isn't about "feelings", it's about the fact that speech _has consequences_. People get hurt both emotionally and physically because of things other people say, especially in aggregate.
2) Etymologically speaking, violence comes from "violent", which meant "having a marked or powerful effect".
3) Legally speaking, violence includes intimidation.
4) Practically speaking, arguing definitions is a total waste of time.
