I freely admit to using strong language in email, *always* in the
context of requests for responsibility and courage.  I look forward
to the time when I can apologise for these extreme cries of passion,
uttered honorably in desperation.

I can only imagine two occasions that you might call threats.  One
was a desperate threat towards the fellow who embezzled *your* net
account, Vickie, in order to force him to act on a violation of my
privacy.  I freely acknowledge that *I threatened to report this 
embezzlement*, and I will point out that I never acted on it, even to
this day (which you must surely have a hard time fitting to your
model of my motives).

The other, I suspect, was telling Ron Hogan just recently that he would 
soon have to "eat his words", when he accused me of lying.  You might 
do well to look up that idiom.
