Just be sure your "insinuations" stay that way, Mr. Burke.

There never was an insinuation, Mr. Robeson. It was a case of your
misunderstanding and a dose of your wishful thinking.

I don't think that your previously archived comments might be
read that way.

And there-in lies your major problem, Stebe, you don't think.

For an offense to have occured, it onl;y requires that it be
perceived as such.

I perceive you to be an unbalanced person. See my numerous posting
asking you to seek help. Again, please seek help.

And I perceive an offense to have occured. You have threatened me in
full capitalization.

Additionally, you have misspelled the word, "onl;y," which according
to your own rules of netiquette, you are in a rage.

You as a trained and experienced US Marine Gunnery Sargeant, I
perceive those combinations of events to have placed me in a position
of harm.

I fear you, and I pray that you do not own a firearm.

Personally, I think you were just pushing the limits of how
offensive you could be and still get away with it.

What do you plan to do about it? I hope you don't kill me.

It didn't work.

It must have. I am in fear of my life.

Thre's no apology to offer, Brain.

Another rageful misspelling. Geezus, is he going to hurt me? kill
me?

There should be. Why do you assume yourself to being above making
mistakes, such as the one you made above?

As I pointed out, in order for an offense to have occured, the
person only need have PERCEIVED that a threat was rendered.

You have convinced me. I am afraid that you are going to hurt me.

I have warned you off, but you keep barrelling right on in.

I beg of you not to hurt me or my family.

Were you born an idiot, or was this a life-long achievement?

Oh, thank goodness. You are merely going to call me names and not do
bodily harm to me or my family. I hope?

I am TELLING you that ANY insinuation of use of firearms on MY
person IS a threat, and that it's the LAST thing you want to do.

I am telling you that there was no insinuation except in your capacity
to comprehend. And I still read a threat in your latest reply.

No threat. A warning. A thrat implies a violent, illegal
response.

Oh, damnit!!! Another mispelling. And a threat of doing something
illegal!!!

Are you going to assault me. Kill me? Kill my family???

Stebe, you've crossed the line!

I tell you to back off. Apologize.

Trust me, if you keep this up, the result will be anything
BUT illegal...And expensive I might add.

Perhaps Extra-illegal? And funerals are so expensive. Thank goodness
I have burial insurance and the government will provide a flag for my
funeral.

Now move on to your apology.

None will follow, unless YOU would care to express one for
uttering language that was perceived as a suggestion that you might
hold a gun to one's head, Brain.

I never expressed even as a suggestion that I would hold a gun to
one's head, let alone your head.

It is all in Google.

But by your rageful responses (by your own definition), I now fear for
my life.

And incase the last few hints didn't hit home with you, I suggest
you discuss with legal representation of your choice what can be
perceived as a threat.

Noted and done. Hopefully you have done the same. Hopefully your
legal representation didn't recommend you do something "

Someone else in this forum tried that, and I can tell you that he
found out that my reach exceeds the length of my arms to this
keyboard...And the results were expensive AND quite legal.

I am not someone else in this forum.

But you MIGHT be someone NEXT, Brain.

You've hurt others? Dear God, what kind of person am I dealing with?

Meanwhile, I still read a threat in your response.

A warning. I perceive your references to the holding of a gun to
my head as a threat. If you meant it any other way you may, in the
next response to this thread, express a retraction of that statement
and an apology for the anxiety it caused.

I never said, nor meant, nor insinuated that I would hold a gun to
your head. I refer you to the first reference, where I said I wasn't
holding a gun to your head. I wonder why anxiety was present if for
not some mental problem on your part.

Hopefully, you have no history of counseling that might suggest that
you are an anxious person.

Do you have a history of counseling?

Otherwise I will assume your intent WAS to cause it, and I can
proceed accordingly if you insist.

Your assumptions make for skunky gossip, nothing more. I suggest you
refer to real life. There was no intent to cause you anxiousness.

Are you a "naturally" anxious person?

Now move on to your apology.

What apology?

The apology that I demand from you for putting me in fear of my life,
from a trained Marine who has stated that he would do something
violent and ILLEGAL (see above).

That apology.

No, Brain...On THIS one I am sure.

The fool is always so sure, especially when they're wrong.

And in this case when he refuses to admit that he uttered words
that were percieved as threatening and offensive.

Yes, those threats that you've been uttering. Those mispelling that
indicate that you're in a rage. The training that you've received in
the US Marine Corps to kill people from faraway places. Your words
about doing something violent and illegal!

Those perceptions that I hold based upon your very own words.

....all of those things that you've uttered that I perceive as
life-threatening.

Which would be you...

Gunny, you need to move on to your apology.

What apology?

The apology that you are about to render.

I'll give you an out - an out that many a thousand soldier has taken.
No Captain's Mast. No Article 15. No prison time. No fine. No
nothing.

In your next posting, simply state: "No excuse, Sir," and be done
with it.

Nothing else.

Absolutely no shame in it.

Be a good soldier and get on with it.
