[quote]"Your definition proved my assertion of the stbx physically attacking her by throwing food on her."

My definitions proved that it's NOT assault. There was NO bodily injuring involved. Do you read what you WANT it to say or what it ACTUALLY says?

I suppose that the next thing I hear from you will be that spitting on someone is ASSAULT. [/quote]

Again, ask your local police...cause spitting on someone is assault. Haven't you ever heard of people being prosecuted for spitting on a police officer?
Do you realize how many nasty germs can be in someones saliva?
Did you realize that it's also against most city ordinances to spit on the sidewalks?
So this makes me wonder...how many times have you dumped food or spit on someone?
