Please explain how saying or writing anything can ever harm or be a threat to anyone.
When you say "anyone" do you literally mean ANY one?
And, are you really 'trying to' suggest that when adult human beings talk to children human beings there is NO possibility ever that no matter what the adult human being says that this could NEVER harm a child, nor be a threat to the child, human being at all?

Only actions, overt and physical, can actually cause harm.
Would you call 'creating confusion', through speech, 'causing harm'?
If no, then just maybe 'you' have been so 'non-harmed' by what you have been taught, and have learned, through speech, that you are still somewhat confused on what the actual Truth of Life IS.
Or, do you purport to NOT being confused at all?

So, absolutely ANY one can say absolutely ANY thing to you, and this could NOT cause harm, NOR be a threat, of ANY sort, to you at all, correct?

Nothing compels anyone to do anything, not even speech they despise.
This is a different matter, so now we have two, correct?
To you, human beings are NOT compelled to do absolutely ANY thing in this Universe, by absolutely ANY thing at all, correct?

Actions can cause harm, speech cannot, and any action to supress speech is harmful.
Yes, we are AWARE of what you BELIEVE is true.
Some of us, however, just wait patiently to see if you can actually provide any actual EVIDENCE and/or PROOF for your CLAIM and BELIEF here.
Yes, you would be part of some, "us," who, I suppose, like you, do not believe anything, but are still certain other's are obliged to prove what they say to you.
When my children were young they used to ask the same kinds of questions you ask. They were children, after all, and I'd try to answer them, but ignorance is very difficult to dissuade. They, like you, would respond to my best explanations, which any adult would have understand, by stamping their little foot and demanding, "can you prove it?"
When my children did that it was entertaining, but I assume you are an adult and should know better. Your questions are nothing but disingenuous sophistry.
I suggest that if you do NOT have the PROOF to your claims, then do NOT make the claim BEFORE you obtain the PROOF.
Your children were very RIGHT in demanding 'can you prove it'?
If you could NOT, then you were doing nothing more other than just BELIEVING some thing to be true, when in fact it may NOT be true AT ALL. Your children, being children, were being far more WISER than you were ever being.
Also, my questions are CLARIFYING QUESTIONS, and that is all they are. And, if you can NOT or will NOT CLARIFY THEM, then do NOT expect your claims to be listened to AT ALL.
The actual Truth of them is ALREADY KNOWN, by the way.
Obviously you have ABSOLUTELY NOTHING AT ALL to back up and support your claims. Therefore, they are NOTHING MORE than just your OWN ALREADY HELD BELIEFS, ONLY, which, from your perspective, may well being completely and utterly WRONG.
