> Puncturing someone's body with an edged weapon is clearly harm So, now your position is that the rule that whether or not there is justification for an act which causes someone to be worse off than previously determines whether that change constitutes harm is only applicable to certain kinds of changes which make the subject worse off, not generally? Your concept of “harm” becomes less clear the more you say about it. But it remains the case that it's not the usually definition of harm, or the one applicable to whether it is acceptable, under the Constitution, for government to act in a certain way in response to the exercises of Constitutionally-guaranteed free expression.

  >is only applicable to certain kinds of changes which make the subject worse off Yes. It's not a difficult concept. Children often get upset about rules that are enforced on them, and feel "worse off." Doesn't mean it's harm. Context matters. The world isn't binary. Also, it's ok to just disagree, since it's clear we disagree on the definition of harm. No need to start constructing strawmen of my position.

    > Children often get upset about rules that are enforced on them, and feel "worse off." Doesn't mean it's harm. Are you saying that losing the benefit of the special district doesn't actually make Disney worse off, and that they are just an immature corporate child lacking the maturity to understand the benefit Daddy DeSantis and Mommy Leg are giving them by taking away their Reedy Creek sucker? Or is this a complete non-sequitur to distract from the fact that Disney would, in fact, be worse off after the change?

      It's not actually harm, yes, that's what I have been saying. For the 3rd time, we disagree on the definition of harm. No, that doesn't mean I think you should be allowed to stab people.
