All I'd say it that speech is not violence. Speech is not violence. SPEECH IS NOT VIOLENCE!

I can tell because JK Rowling hasn't murdered anyone.

edit: this video is basically that convo. "Violence is not a subjective feeling, violence is an objective fact."

Free speech is a human right, and yes, that includes freedom from disproportionate consequences. There are exceptions, including directed speech that causes actual harm, including harassment, bullying, and psychological domestic violence, not to mention incitement to actual violence, but disagreeing is never violence.
