Instead of focusing on reducing the power of words we should focus on the people inflicting damage with those words.

You can only control your actions. You can't control other people's actions. Most people are better off focusing on what they can positively do rather than wish other people didn't do bad things. I lock my front door when I leave my home. I don't leave it open and join hashtag campaigns on twitter telling people to stop robbing homes.

Nobody is saying, you did this, what did you expect? That is purely your personal spin on it.
