"Violence" on the internet.

The left has been trying to get speech labeled as "violence" for a while here, especially on college campuses. I've seen the argument that "criticism is a form of violence" many times. People say they're "snowflakes," but they aren't. It's just a strategy for shutting down all disagreement.
