Murdering people for holding the wrong opinions (see e.g [0]) is not something unique for coddled infants. Charlemagne did it, every tyrant in the world has and continue to do it, the inquisition did it. The 30 years war was, at least on the surface, a war about which version of Christianity leaders were allowed to believe in. It idea that you should not murder people who disagreed with you, if you had the ability to do so, is an enlightenment idea, which still has not been fully embraced by most people. In addition the complaint in the article was that it would encourage other people to do bad things, not that the author felt threatened by the words themselves but by what they might cause another third party to do. My personal solution to that is to punish the person who did the crime, bringing back medieval torture executions in public if that is required to prevent people from doing these things. But this is not just about feelings. [0]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albigensian_Crusade https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albigensian_Crusade
