Oh, and gee I hope no-one is inclined to take this to your local police department and make terrorist threat complaint against me. But if you are so inclinded, I'd be very happy to march in there with you and get a full background check. I am still not sure how it turned into a terrorist threat, but I'll roll with the punches.
I can help... (or stoke the fires depending on your perspective) You were not being accused of having Al Quaida sympathies... The suggestion was that you had made a TERRORISTIC threat. It's defined below:
2C:12-3 Terroristic threats.
a.A person is guilty of a crime of the third degree if he threatens to commit any crime of violence with the purpose to terrorize another or to cause evacuation of a building, place of assembly, or facility of public transportation, or otherwise to cause serious public inconvenience, or in reckless disregard of the risk of causing such terror or inconvenience. A violation of this subsection is a crime of the second degree if it occurs during a declared period of national, State or county emergency. The actor shall be strictly liable upon proof that the crime occurred, in fact, during a declared period of national, State or county emergency. It shall not be a defense that the actor did not know that there was a declared period of emergency at the time the crime occurred.
b.A person is guilty of a crime of the third degree if he threatens to kill another with the purpose to put him in imminent fear of death under circumstances reasonably causing the victim to believe the immediacy of the threat and the likelihood that it will be carried out.
Subsection b. would be the most applicable to this situation. By "most" I mean that it would not really fit at all as A) the complaint was from a third party and B) a person would have a hard time articulating the "immediacy" of such a "threat" from an anonymous person in an online forum.
One thing I've noticed lately is that when hunters and non-hunters get together it's a toss-up as to who is going to be less rational than the other. This week, the hunters won! As for the weather, I was very fortunate to get my road bike back last week. I've been squeezing in 45-60 minute rides on the most frigid days, as I pretty much took January off. I just can't make myself go to a gym...
