"She admitted she made it up. She admitted that I did not say what she said I said- that she imagined it."

Well, I seem to remember that she admitted that she couldn't prove an out and out literal threat but believed you had implied it while maintaining deniability. However, she maintained that the fear of law suit seemed implied in your statements and felt real.

If I am right in that then I don't see the lie. Other possibilities as I stated previously but not a lie.

oh god you're funny and lame.

Lawyer. Clever, making people think they're going to sue them.

But with deniability.

Yes, I admit it. You threatened us to take it to 3D (a term you introduced) in a way you knew perfectly well we'd think was a lawsuit. For two or three emails from a former friend.

You threatened to take it to 3D, didn't you?

So that the threat was... kinda scary...

but...

vague...

you're a lawyer...

Answer this:

Did it never occur to you that what we would think was that the 3D action you were threatening to take was to sue us?

Had you been a member of the Soprano family, we probably would have thought it was to break our legs.

But... you were threatening to do something to us, something we wouldn't like, and you didn't, we assumed, mean break our legs, and it would, presumably, be legal, and we would be the object of this 3D action, and...

you figured we'd think the threat was you were going to change your email address (like, not simply fix your Outlook or whatever you use to block an email address like regular people would do) or tell our isp I'd sent you a couple of emails you didn't like?

Was that what you figured we'd think was the 3D threat?

Say it with a straight face, I dare you...

look, you giggled!
