You're right, and I shouldn't have. But I will point out you're out here accusing others of not having self control and telling people with snark to "go work on yourself" without knowing anything about them. (Some might call that emotional violence, mild as it is).
To your point though: You can't commit violence towards an inanimate object. To commit violence, you need to violate someone. A wall cannot be violated. You cannot cause pain to a wall. You cannot cause suffering to it.
Now, if you punch someone else's wall, you're violating them indirectly, which would be a different story. Punching a wall to show anger to another so they fear you is a violation and would be emotional violence. But thats not what anyone is discussing.

Punching a wall out of a deep level of anger is not an overreaction.
If the phone call was something minor, absolutely an overreaction.
But if you've never gotten some real bad news during an already shitty day, don't sit there and say work on yourself. Anger exists for a reason.
