@ijbailey @athie_gnome @XBillups I agree with you that parents berating a child for years does more harm than one punch in the face. That something does more harm than a small act of violence does not mean that thing is therefore violence. — PolitiTweet.org

@ijbailey Let me mimic your logic: *Violence comes in various forms. A punch in the mouth is only one. There are other things-including divorcing someone who still loves you-that ends up doing as much or more damage as physical contact. Therefore, divorce can be violence.* See the problem? — PolitiTweet.org
