1.Maelakin is not evil.
2.He did not strike me on the cheek.

We are having a discussion. Words. Jesus used words to disarm crowds, silent pharisees and critics. Had Jesus not used words to raise points, and create change, where would we be today?

Remember this is the internet. This is a realm of ideas and writing, not physicality. Writing strong ideas is certainly not forcing anyone to do anything, nor forcing an opinion on anyone as has been implied previously. Certainly it is not striking a person that hits you.

In any case

3.I am not perfect, nor sinless.
