Holocaust denial, for one.
More recently, Sandy Hook denial is what lead to parents of Sandy Hook victims being harassed by people calling them actors, frauds, charlatans etc. Would you not agree that having people tell you that your child never existed or never died to be harmful?

Since we're moving from destructive to harmful then I'll move it on to hurtful. Of course words can be hurtful and they can even be harmful - can they be destructive? Still, I wouldn't relieve anyone of the right to deny Sandy Hook or The Holocaust because I can either: a) choose to ignore them b) argue If I use (b) then I have nothing to fear because if I'm right and they are wrong then I have a better argument. What's to fear? Is Holocaust denial more widespread than than disdain for it even in societies that have no injuction against it? No, is the answer, most people think the Holocaust happened, and Sandy Hook for that matter.
