I think one major difference between physical and psychological harm is that physical harm is much more straightforward to observe and verify, whereas psychological harm is much harder to do so. Thus, what should be considered as a legitimate response to hurtful speech needs to be much more cautious and moderated than for physical violence.
I agree.
Yes, everything is on a case-by-case basis for me. Never enjoy much reading blanket statements.
I guess @denlillaapan's black/white takes without much nuance always ruffle my feathers. Which is probably their (!) desired outcome~~

Definitely not a case-by-case basis (which is a stupid way of saying "everything goes... sometimes") but of course we can conjure up edge cases where the main, default assessment don't hold.
The important takeaway there isn't that edge cases exist, but that they don't undermine the main rule.
