Hahahaha what a clown. Although, instead of paying for his ass to sit in the unemployment hotel for 2 years, I'd rather see him caned in public for each episode.

If you don't carry it out, then technically it's an empty threat.

No, and empty threat is one where you do not have the means, ability, and/or possibility/potential of executing it. It has nothing to do with actual execution. Threats by definition lack execution, that is why they are threats, not acts.

I think it could also be a threat you have no intention of carrying out, which seems more likely what the lawyer meant.
And you can certainly make a threat and then act upon that threat. Acting upon the threat doesn't change the fact that it was initially a threat. Threats are often threatening...

Yeah. Can't is empty, didn't is not.
"I'm gonna kill you with this gun in my hand>" = not empty threat "I'm gonna use my telekinetic powers to launch you off the planet where you will explode in the vacuum of space, Total Recall style." = empty threat

I guess I meant any reasonable person should expect to take a threat like that serious. Its not like he said "I'm going to bazooka you right in the face with a stegosaurus."

I think we all agree with you except maybe Cody, or he is arguing semantics with me which is usually Scott's job.

You are technically correct. Which is the best kind of correct.
