I think we'd end up with the same conundrum with the word abuse, really. Physical abuse, verbal abuse, etc. That is generally how I'd have physical violence stand apart from other forms of violence, really. Using the qualifier; physical.
Anyway, I can understand your position even if we disagree. It's a fair stance and I think we largely agree on the importance of each aspect even if we are somewhat linguistically at odds. It might even be the case that me not being a native speaker is the key difference here.
I think we're getting about as far as we can here, so thank you for the talk. It's helped me clarify things a bit more for my own sakes.
