There was a thread a few months ago on HN about non-violent communication https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21263894 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21263894 which elicited a lot of comments about how much they disliked this type of conversation reading this comment makes we wonder if its not more a function of 'non-violent communication is a tool people use to bring up subjects they would otherwise avoid; there's basically no way to talk about a lot of these subjects in a manner that doesn't bother people; ->-> if these is something you're going to pay costs on if it doesn't get brought up, using the tool of non-violent communications is one way to handle these costs'
