- Reading comprehension time, Peter. Keith never threatened you at all.
- I made an offer to you (which, although you are perfectly free to
- decline, you have not even offered me the courtesy of a response).
- Keith in return made an offer to *me* which I was also free to
- decline. Now by some weird stretch of the imagination, you might
- say that *I* had threatened you by making the offer in the first place
- but I think most people would laugh in your face if you tried to make
- such a ludicrous claim.
