You're remarkably offensive for claiming that - not only based on your own initial misinterpretation, but also after I took the time to explain[1]. Perhaps it has to do with a very bogus definition for the word 'threat', by which one could consider every RFC as a threat as well. It was a clear call to order. If you want to call it a threat, or Coolio, or some other word - that is entirely up to you, but it does not change the fact that it wasn't a threat. Zeev [1] "This was not a threat of any kind, and framing it as such is inappropriate by itself. I wasn't "threatening" to have anyone kicked or otherwise penalized. It was a reminder of one of the ground rules - respectful discussion and focusing on the ideas and not the people they came from - and making it clear I have no intention to yield on it. I said that if for some reason what has been and should continue to be obvious - just as much as the discussions here have to be respectful (and in English) - is no longer obvious - we'll make it clear. That's all."
