 This all stems, this hypersensitivity to language. For a long time, the left was saying, silence is violence, words are violence. It used to be sticks and stones may break my bones, but names will never hurt me. Now names are the worst thing you can do. And if somebody calls you a name, you're perfectly justified in beating them with a stick and a stone. It's very, very weird and something from which we have to not only retract, but recoil from and reject.
