Yep, if you write a message to someone, FIRST NOTICE. SECOND NOTICE, worded so that it sounds as though it's a threat to sue (and you're a lawyer), (and I believe I could find your post where you admitted it was worded ambiguously so that interpretation was there)...
then you've threatened to sue them.
If you'd meant "I will... tell your mother," or "I will block you from my Inbox," or "I will ask your isp not to forward mail from you," you would have simply said that that was the threat.
But if you CHOOSE to word the threat to do something we really won't like, something serious, that will hurt us, and two bright people understand that the lawyer has just threatened to sue...
your claim that in your head you were really planning a lesser course of action is meaningless.
Since you meant us to believe you it was a threat to sue, then you threatened to sue us, X. Over three lousy emails. Two, really, after the first, which elicited the warning NOTICEs. |
