Define assault. Is nudging someone to get their attention ok? How about hitting them in the face full force? Both are touching...

See, the thing is, common sense helps with this. Trying to relativise everything does not take a way the need to make moral decisions.

No, it doesn't. Because I think some of the things I mentioned are surveillance, and are ok. Common sense doesn't make up for people who are saying things that they either don't mean, or that I disagree with. Are you saying that you'd like me to simply interpret everything you say through 'well, that would be something I disagree with, so I guess he didn't mean it'?
