How do you know that he wouldn't say it to your face? One of the problems with the internet is that you can portray yourself as you want. For all I know, you could be a cage fighting world champion. Equally, you could be a 400lb person who couldn't walk down the street, let alone swing a fist. That's what makes the whole threat thing rather pointless, if you ask me. Let's also say that you offer to meet this guy somewhere in Boston. I've seen this happen a lot online. Both sides claim they were there, when they may or may not have been. Anyone who turns up to meet a complete stranger for a fight is either confident in their own abilities and/or stupid, especially in a country where so many people carry weapons.
Would I say some of this to your face? Well, perhaps I would. Perhaps I wouldn't. If you are as aggressive as you are portraying yourself on this thread, then I would say hello, make my excuses and leave quickly. I work in social housing in the most deprived part of London and learned not to take stupid risks with my safety. In that sense, you would "win" and validate your point that people say stuff to a keyboard that they don't say to a person's face. Is Real World wrong to insult you? Yes, and you are wrong to threaten him. It sours the tone of the board, which is here for debate, not for people to have pi**ing contests.
Oh, and for the record, I have only ever voted for Labour or the Liberal Democrats, so I have no political axe to grind with you.
