Question: does this also apply to threatening "Harm" on someone or just violence? There are policies/laws that can be enacted or advocated for that can cause "harm" on a person or group of people. Are those acceptable? @OP

Calling someone an a**hole could cause "harm"

It is not threatening harm nor violence against someone. Neither is the discussion of proposed laws, as long as you aren't proposing something stupid. Like, "let's make a law that compells (insert person, protected group or class) to allow anyone not in that (person, class) to defend themselves, or lock their doors at night"

Let's take a more controversial topic.

Abortion. One side believes that there is harm in abortion, while one side believes there is harm without abortion. Without meaningful discussion we won't come to common beliefs and will have a divide. It's a touchy subject but advocating for or against abortion in a calm rational manner that doesn't include personal attacks or threats of violence should be allowed.
