I can't decide whether or not I read the last part of his post as a threat, although I am going to go and giggle for a bit about the idea of "you and me, outside, now" as possibly operating in cyberspace.

I vote for Amanda as your second for the duel, btw. =)

I vote for making fun of his hair again.

Oh Happy. Why did you link to him? I compulsively clicked (and then less compulsively clicked his omment button) and now I need to bleach my fingers.

I love all the chest-beating going on in the comments over there. These men seem to labor under the delusion that physical strength = superiority. In which case my neighbor's cane corso would be their superior....hey, maybe these boys are on to something....

As I said in the last comment thread, commenters like that are exactly why I signed up all of my kids, boys and girl alike, for KARATE.

Happy, am I correct that a threat to do bodily harm is assault also? If so, couldn't Vox's comments be running the ragged edge of illegal?

L. - GOOD on you. Trying to convince my sister to do the same with my niece and nephews. (the oldest boy doesn't want to b/c he's afraid he'll hurt one of his younger brothers, lol).

A threat can be considered criminal if the person making the threat has the intent to place me in fear. Here we have no such intent -- just poor form and silliness.

Bored now. Can I play with the puppy?

But, Happy, regarding what I think is Vox's point ... seriously now ... do you agree that if Kissy's situation were sexually reversed, that is the woman grabbed the guy after he had made it clear to her he was not interested, he would be quite within his right (in your jurisdiction, anyway) to, "shove [her] up against a wall, jam [his] arm into [her] throat and say, 'I have had enough of you being rude and disrespectful towards [men]. The next time I see you, you will be polite and show respect.'"

You're okay with that, right?
