Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit soft.

I'm not a violent person and I don't hit people.

There is hard hitting, but the hitting is not nearly as hard as it used to be.

You never know when something's going to hit you in a particular way and just knock you loose.

The most resonant crimes are the ones in which the victim is most innocent, or perceived as innocent. Blaming the victim is tempting; it offers an out.
