One time wonder........how do you threaten someone by DOING YOUR BEST TO AVOID THEM with something you FORGOT? Simply, no threat was intended nor even suggested. It was simply Ob's way to respond. Maybe you should go back and read the entire page or so. I am sure that your response is exactly what Bob wanted to achieve.
I read the whole exchange between you and Jack Parkman and you can backpedal all you want but the threat was there. I read this board for a long time before I logged on and made a post and from what I have read the only thing you've done is embarrass yourself, your son, Redlands and the SCIAC, and you achieved exactly what you wanted -- to make yourself the center of all attention.

JP....the truth be told.......I was trying to avoid OB at all costs. I had forgotten my 9mm.
If I were OB, I would have picked up my marbles and gone home. People today know better than to "joke" about shooting someone. Where I work, if some a**hole makes a "joke" about bringing a gun to work, they are placed on leave and undergo a screening from a pyschiatrist to determine if they in fact pose a threat to others. And instead of removing the post - and the poster - from the site, the webmaster posts a justification for the comment - explaining that OB makes some posters mad. Sorry PC, you are usully right-on, but this time you blew it.
This is exactally what is wrong with society in general today. If anyone says anything off color is off to the pouting station and call in the psychologist. I am a fan of crude humor and use it quite often. It is not always appropriate and I realize that. There is a time and place for this.
We have reached a spot in society where people do bring guns into the work place because we as the American people do not accept mental heath treatment as a formitable solution to ones problem. If you even mention in your work place that you are seeking counciling for your problems, you are immediatly labled the psycho or one of the crazies. Before anyone jumps on this bandwaggon, I have seen it and its a sad thing.
A referral to a psychiatrist is to give the employee a break. The alternative is to fire the employee and seek prosecution for making a terrorist threat. Everyone sane, mature adult knows that you don't "joke" about shooting someone.
