This is not a physical threat. The fact that you fear him does not make George's vague, conditional statement a physical threat. It simply means that you are interpreting it in that manner due to being easily frightened. He never stated how he was going to 'fix the problem' of your incessant interloping in his business. Legally, verbally, physically? He never stated, "I'm going to knock your block off for being a pain in the neck", or anything of the sort. Even if he did, is he standing outside your home? Is he menacing you face to face. Everyone on this Board is willing to sue someone for perceived threats. Easier said than done. There are some lawyers on this Board that I imagine can shed some light on what actually constitutes a physical threat and what doesn't in the eyes of your local police preceint. Possibly they can clear up some misconceptions on this often melodramatically perceived problem and we can return our discourse to the cards themselves.
