dana, i was referring to the child's poem

sticks and stones
may break my bones
but names will never hurt me.

Lsyc seems to think she would be justified in physically harming someone for something they said. ( compelled even)

hateful words suck, but they're just words. lookout is right. say what you want, if noone listens, you're not going to hurt anyone.

words that directly cause mayhem or panic resulting in violence are one thing, but some actress making an ass out of herself in a book that you'd have to purchase to read? i think not.
