For a quotation it would be nice to know where and by whom and on which page it was published. BTW: Here someone claims to have found it in an American periodical ("The Christian Recorder") from March 1862. --87.149.43.171 (talk) 15:12, 5 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Common Law

[edit]
  • This sentiment is reflected in/reflects the common law of civil assault, which holds that mere name-calling does not give rise to a cause of action, while putting someone in fear of physical violence does.

I suggest this sentence is deleted. I am not a lawyer but would point to the notion of verbal assault, which has a view to how the force of delivery of the words is perceived, aand of course to libel and slander which concerns name calling more directly.
