Perhaps I gave you too much credit. I assumed that since you had colleagues at a University, that you were a professor. My mistake.

Never was a threat. And not based on previous assumptions either.

Although, it does appear you've had a moment to think things through, and have taken it - for your cavalier "cup o' attitude" has softened a bit.

As the overwhelming majority of your previous posts over the past three years are merely one-line retorts and crafty comments, I'd say your M.O. does not indicate a predisposition toward impassioned dialog or in-depth discussion.
