In general IT IS WRONG to harm another person.

It's wrong to harm someone for no reason or if it's avoidable.

It's not wrong to harm them if it's necessary to prevent them from harming another.

I agree with what you said, but you took it from general to specifics.

Then let's stick with generalizations then, brother.

I disagree.

In general does not mean the same thing to everyone.

I withdraw my question. No one else need to post unless they wish to.
I can see the error in the way I am asking the question.

Yes that is why I just posted I withdraw my question.

I think that it's wrong to simplify the question in such a way. Anyone will say you shouldn't hurt others. I'm normally one of those people, however sometimes situations arise in which your well-being, or the well-being of your friends and loved ones is at stake, and laying the smack down on someone's roody-poo candy arse is not only a valid option, it's a necessity! The important thing to remember in these situations is not to lose self control and know when to stop.

In conversations such as this, it is imperative that the topic be dissected, and all options assessed, otherwise how are the Jedi peeps going to explain their positions and why they thing the way they do?

And what type of harm should be addressed as well. People jump to physical, but emotional/mental are valid as well. And there are times where doing minor harm to someone could actually turn them around, bring them into a better place. Sometimes the act of harming leads the harmer to redemption, a redemption he may never have otherwise achieved. Does that make his action right or wrong? Is there a right and a wrong? How much harm is acceptable and under precisely what circumstances?

At a certain point a question like this becomes almost as complicated as "What's the meaning of life anyway?"

Perhaps if by harming them you are helping them, is it still harming them? If not, then I agree.... generally speaking.
