Your always is incorrect. Nope 2. I meant to say collide. Your understanding of the written word, and the idiosyncrasies of language, is appalling. You really are not doing very well are you.

If I stated that I was going to shoot you with my N-ray gun, it could not be taken seriously and thus would not rate as a threat. Basically JoeBloe by stating that his post was not a threat is telling you that you can safely assume that no such threat could be taken seriously.

I am surprised you and Androcles don't get on. You have a similar writing style and a similar approach to logic. Androcles, however, is an embarrassment on the UK at least you are a foreigner.

For some people there is the moral imperative to do what is "right" despite the futility and the personal cost. In a democracy people are supposed to be able to affect things. I mean, it is the effect on the west of a small group of Islamic extremists that has got everyone's knickers in a twist here.
