Words are words. Words aren't violence.
So if I tell your friends, school and employer that you are a murderer, a pedophile or about your dirty hobbies, that is perfectly fine with you? You do recognize those things are punishable by law?
Another false equivalence.
False damaging claims made with malicious intent. Slander, again, there's already laws about that.
Whatever youβre taking, take less.
You just said words are not violence so slander is not damaging.
Words still aren't violence
Slander is words, but slander is a crime.
Yeah, mental gymnastics helps with defying logic, I know.
You started with saying there should be no moderation and saying words are not violence. You used that term. So stop lecturing me about your mistakes.
Saying things that harm others is bad and needs to be moderated.
Do you call an ambulance for yourself when someone hurts your feelings? No, so words aren't violence.
Doesnt matter. You proved yourself wrong. Have a nice day.
nope.
