Other catters on the thread, as well as me, read it as a physical threat, Fred. It occurred after I had apologised for the confusion. You made no disclaimer as to its being the physical threat that I and others had interpreted as was made manifest by our responses. If you were merely talking verbals, then you would be well aware that I could give back as hard a time as I got; but when I pointed out that, at 81, I would hardly be a match for you (which would not have been the case in the event of mere verbals), you left it at that and in no way modified or qualified the threat you had made. Just go back to that thread & look again if you would have the goodness. You will see that you are being, belatedly, merely disingenuously evasive.
