It's called nonviolent communication mostly because they really want to emphasise that you're not supposed to punch them when they explain how it works.

I think most of the 'nvc is bad' stuff comes from people using it badly and/or in the wrong situations. But then I also think it's hard to do well, and for relatively few situations. Almost that it's best as an internal practise only - be aware of it but respond more humanly!
I sometimes think that and then I read more Rosenberg and realise that the original is actually *worse* than the typical use.
