No need for violence.

I have never felt the need to threaten any member. I understand we do not agree with each other.
I respect all views, even if I disagree, you are entitled to your views.
This forum has made me changed stance a number of times, but nothing convincing.

I totally agree Buddy.  Threats will not be tolerated.

Degrading insults aren't tolerated on the forum. We always edit or remove when they're seen but feelings sometimes run high and it happens.
On the other hand a personal threat can make someone feel insecure and frightened in their daily life so we do need to have zero tolerance of such behaviour to enable people to feel safe posting.
Think that's the difference.
