New York its just "Menacing". New York State Penal Code Article 120, requires an actual injury, to count as "Assault".
Just saying it's not so black and white, the law anyways. What this guy had in mind is much easier to figure out.

Peter: As we all know, Christmas is that mystical time of year when the ghost of Jesus rises from the grave to feast on the flesh of the living! So we all sing Christmas Carols to lull him back to sleep.
Bob: Outrageous, How dare he say such blasphemy. I've got to do something.
Man #1: Bob, there's nothing you can do.
Bob: Well, I guess I'll just have to develop a sense of humor. |

But if we go outside, and you start swinging, I'm not supposed to be surprised?
No - if you say that I can reasonably infer that you are going to start a fight unless I agree with you.
A fight is a reasonable inference from that statement. Your unwillingness to see that boggles my mind.

Good lord. ALL that can reasonably be inferred from that statement is that IF you agree to 'step outside' that a fight will ensue.
It is NOT reasonable to infer that he will flip the table over and start beating you right then and there. Further statements or actions would be required for that to be a reasonable inference.

"Did you ever notice how in the Bible, when ever God needed to punish someone, or make an example, or whenever God needed a killing, he sent an angel? Did you ever wonder what a creature like that must be like? A whole existence spent praising your God, but always with one wing dipped in blood. Would you ever really want to see an angel?" |

"Menacing" is assault.
The thing you say is assault is legally "Battery".
Assault is making someone fear they are in physical danger. Battery is actually doing something.

"'players must agree how they are going to select their armies, and if any restrictions apply to the number and type of models they can use."
This is an actual rule in the actual rulebook. Quit whining about how you can imagine someone's army touching you in a bad place and play by the actual rules.

If New York had a Battery law that be ture. As they don't, it's classifed different.
