But the fact that you see an error and work to correct it is good. You have a good point here, and it is important that the point you are making is not overshadowed by anything else.

Here's what he said.  I see no threat.

Well, I dunno about that. I've been speaking English since I was
three years old, and that looks like an implicit threat to me.
Also, you noticed, there was also an *explicit* threat made,
and also action taken (list delay).

To me, yes it was a threat. Further, given the explicit threat,
and the later action, I think my opinion is justified.

I speak only for myself, and I am unanimous in that!
