abc, of course it is. It's just the same as writing a letter, ring up on the phone, sending a text, fax or any other form of communication the victim can (a) understand and (b) feel menaces by.

So your only recourse is politely ask for your money, until the person/party "feels like" paying you back?

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

OMG. Just noticed that the SkiGB.com offers 10% off. Can we establish if this includes beer? I may have to change my vote.

abc, you are entitled to use all legal means to recoup any monies owing to you. Using menace and inferred threats would put on the wrong side of the law.

Frosty the Snowman, 10% off the rental of apartments in VT only I think Frosty - payment by dodgy transfer to A/C number to be confimed on snowheads forum, menaces (Dennis or otherwise) optional.

Frosty the Snowman, there were a few offers to do it and if SkiGB or the other two had felt threatened they could complain to the police, who would then be duty bound investigate.

... 18 months later if you're lucky.
Police would not be at all interested in this. Menace (if there was any and I don't think there was) needs to be a good deal more menacing.

PJSki: Hello Officer, I'd like to report a serious crime... I've just been threatened with menaces.
Officer: I see, and where did this incident occur?
PJSki: On an internet chat room called Snowheads... It's all about skiing and stuff
Officer: Hmmmm, and who was it that threatened you?
PJSki: Well, a fella by the name of SkiGB.com and I've got witnesses... they're called Frosty The Snowman, abc, red 27, Axsman....
Officer: Have you been drinking Sir? Step this way please... to be continued...

Frosty the Snowman, like I said, it would be down to the three people involved and whether they felt threatened or not. One had his home address given out, which could have added to any level of threat he felt.

PJSki, so one bloke may have been out of pocket and worried about the future and his mortgage payments, but some other people may have felt threatened by this thread!!! Please tell me you are winding us/me up.

Frosty the Snowman, the gang-like reaction could have left SkiGB feeling vulnerable and threatened. He himself said that the reaction seemed unfriendly toward him.

Have you ever had anyone owe you an important amount of money?

PJSki, Well if you had then you may think differently about what is some gentle tomfoolery on an internet forum. Threats, implied or otherwise - no. Criticism for folks who owe money and don't communicate in such circumstances - yes.

And your knowledge of it sounds remarkably sketchy to me. Your trolling - which people are unfortunately rising to - is not helpful to either side of this argument/non-argument, so you'd do much better to desist.
