Thank God this thread moved from whatever the original topic was to Hotsauce telling us that he committed a felony, repeatedly, in school. And that his school failed to report that felony to the police and instead treated him to the same sort of expert counseling as edgy goth lesbians and impotent football stars. The system really does work! In somehow justifying that action he also informed us that instead of teaching English, which he (the teacher) was gakky at anyway, his English teacher ran an illicit child boxing ring. That way hotsauce could learn the value of fisticuffs so he could tell us all about the evils of violence in a delicious display of irony.
Proceed.

Ok, I only did it once, and it was in angry after i got my clothe covered in syrup and had to go around all day in school in my gym clothes.
Like i said, I said it in anger, heat of the moment after I found out who did it.
I'm not excusing my actions, just giving context.
Really, you didn't threaten someone at all when you where a kid?

Explanation... appropriate!
To myself, I had a lot of fights. I had issues. I am so happy my kids have not followed my footsteps.

Well its important to both annoy The Mannster and lower his expectations of me at least once a month.
In seriousness, threatening someone is not good. Threatening leads to anger which leads to fights after school...so it all works out in the end.

Ah I was confused by the implied plural nature of your original statement, "when I was in school I would..."
and yes I threatened plenty of other kids when I was a kid. I didn't threaten to kill them, but generally speaking, "I am going to beat the gak out of you" was closely followed by the typical low level violence children are capable of...until the teens hit and you could do some real damage. I've got dozens of solid reminders not to write checks your bod can't cash. I've left a few too. That used to be called "normal childhood".

To be fair that was pretty sober and contained. I've long since learned not to try to impose my beliefs on the misguided denizens of the OT.

Sadly I think we've moved to serious.
