But I don't feel in the slightest bit threatened, josephw. Don't you get what's been going on? Indeed, I find FreakyKBH's dark mutterings about the "physical reality" of his prowess and inclination to resort to physical violence - on an internet message board - to be utterly laughable. You should go back and read his posts.
FreakyKBH's point is essentially that some people on the internet act in ways they'd be too cowardly to repeat in person. This is true. If it wasn't, we wouldn't have been surprised by the sheer depth of vileness and depravity people display online.
Human beings filter themselves in real life for good reason. Those reasons would be equally as good on the internet, in addition to making it a more pleasant environment.

Originally posted by vivifyI agree. Also, there are some that are genuine and in no need of "filtering" themselves before anyone.

I'm not one of those. I filter myself a lot. Otherwise I would be a good deal more offensive than I already am, especially around here. 😉

Of course I would. We've "established" no such thing. You're just being silly. Your online threats of violence are risible. 😉
People don't act in real life in the same manner you do online... at least, not for very long.
I know you're butt-hurt having someone call you out on being such a douche, but if you don't want the label, there's a sure-fire way to avoid the moniker: quit acting like one.

Not to sound overly Rodney King-ish, but can't we all just get along?
Originally posted by vivifyIf you mean people like FreakyKBH wouldn't be threatening to beat people up in real life like he does here online from time to time (and as he did on about page 38 onwards on the "Flat Earth" thread), then I imagine you are right. 🙂

Originally posted by FreakyKBHYou trying to insult me online by calling me names doesn't "hurt" me at all. You're daft if you think it does.
Again, it's not a threat; it's a fact.

And your talk of dishing out violence if ever we were to meet in person ~ due to my "putrid prose" or whatever it was you've been wittering on about ~ doesn't actually feel threatening at all ~ regardless of whether you huff and puff about it being "a fact" or a "physical reality" .
I think you have made a bit of a fool of yourself. And I think vivify has pointed out the reason why. 😉

I don't call you names to injure; I am merely calling a spade a spade... or, in your case, a guttersnipe a guttersnipe.
Despite your spinning otherwise, cogent thought on the topic is what I've said all along:
Some people act online in a manner wholly at odds with their real life behavior.
You are such a person described.
Originally posted by FreakyKBHYou calling people names on this message board means no more than it does when robbie carrobie calls people names. On some level, you must surely be aware of this.

Originally posted by FreakyKBHLook I get it that you don't like some of my posts and you want to make this clear to me and to everyone and do so ostentatiously. I get all that.

But threats? All this muttering about "consequences" and silly allusions to violence? Oh dear.
Why don't you identify some specific posts of mine that you claim would cause you to physically assault me if you had the opportunity? I asked you before but, of course, you dodged the question.

I couldn't give two chits about your posts in general.
As anyone with a base line of skill can observe, the majority of people on this site couldn't either.
Where you get yourself into the tittie twister you find yourself now, is when you go after the person with whom you are sparring in a manner which is the equivalent of insulting for the purpose of inciting.
As I've already pointed out, it's so painfully obvious you lack anything resembling the physicality required to behave in such a brutish manner, no one here really takes you serious.
You're just a sad widdle man, aren't you?
Originally posted by FreakyKBHI lack "the physicality required"? What on earth are you really on about? Surely this is just you making threats of violence again?
