To which you wrote:

Read much?  I don't claim to know what the middle ground threat might be,
I'm just speculating that there might be one.  Clearly an outright
deaththreat is too far -- but apparently you don't comprehend English
well enough to understand what I said, so why am I bothering now?

Grow up.  Since you can't read, your book obviously does you no good.
Go back to kindergarten, pal.  Don't post me another message because I
refuse to be drawn into some ridiculous pre-school flamewar.
