“[A] vague statute is one 'which either forbids or requires the doing of an act in terms so vague that men of common intelligence must necessarily guess at its meaning and differ as to its application.'”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage““[W]e feel that solicitations of the type proscribed by the statute are often ‘grossly offensive and emotionally disturbing.’ They are very likely to cause injury in a very real, if only emotional, sense. Many times the shock to one’s sensibilities and the sense of affront, resulting in injury to one’s mind and spirit, are as great from such speech as from a physical assault.” 58 Ohio St.2d at 280-281 , 12 O.O.3d 273 , 389 N.E.2d 1128 .”
