I regret saying it and I apoligize to him for the offense.
While the intent of this topic is honorable, it is totally unnecessary. The reason I sent the PM (as I explained in that PM) was to keep it a private matter. I try not to embarrass someone in public, and I wasn't quite sure if you were serious or just shooting your yap off like you like to do from time to time (as do I and others).
That said, making threats on an Internet MB is bad for business and is silly as we all know. It wasn't so much that I was pissed, but more so that I was annoyed and you're right, there are some things that don't translate well on an Internet MB such as sarcasm (which is why I learned early on to type "sarcasm/off" to let people know that I was being sarcastic).
Furthermore (as I explained in my PM) it's illegal to make personal threats on the Internet. Don't believe me? Make one to a public official in an e-mail, or even on a MB (where someone can take offense and pass it on to the authorities).
I don't want that here so I asked you to please not do that again, serious or not. If you were kidding around, then say your kidding around. Because I've known you for years I decided to address this via PM and keep it in house.
While politics can bring out the worse in people at times, lets try to remember that we're all amigos here and despite our different viewpoints and some heated rhetoric, there is no need to go overboard.
That goes for me as well so don't think that I exempt myself and do feel free to call me on it if I step over the line, were all human and we all misstep from time to time. During times like that which we now (barely) live in, stress levels are elevated in our private "real" lives and that stress is easily carried over to a MB where we are all separated by many miles and a computer screen.
It's all good in our hood OMNT, and I still consider you an amigo de mio in good standing, a great member who contributes positively, and one who I will continue to look forward to seeing here so I can tear your imbecilic liberal ideas apart!  
On a more serious note, as far as I am concerned this is water under the bridge (and was after we discussed it privately) and I see no reason to further pontificate on the matter other than to say I'm moving this to where it belongs which is the FMAS forum.
Thank you for being a gentleman and apologizing, you got class.
