    Okay. That's what I thought. So can you see where my confusion is coming from? Because I didn't dismiss the utility of violence.

    Did you possibly misunderstand my comment? I described violence and non-violence as synergistic practices and ridiculed people who fail to understand that neither one can function independent of the other.
