RE: Defense Is Not Violence
There's nothing wrong with violence. It's amoral. Self-defense is violence, reciprocated against the person trying to do you harm.

Yes, it is. But I wrote about the immoral ways of violence and violence for selfish reasons @anarcho-andrei. There's always wrong with this violence.
Monetary and verbal sleights aren't violence though. Even according to this article, violence is force used to coerce. Words are not force. If you start categorizing words as equivalent to physical force, you open the door to using physical force in response to words.
Precision of expression is essential.
