He called me a liar; and, I told him 'he would get a chance to call me a liar to my face'.

That was the jest of it.

My last pm to him reveal that "I meant none of what was said".
It was a big joke.

I thought we had it settled...I guess not.

I'm shocked he is still upset about it all these months later.

I offer my apologies to him; and, to all of you here.

If someone could help me get in contact with him, I would like to apolgize on the phone.

Again, it was a big joke to me....a game...

I'm shocked and ashamed that what I did (tic) has caused him so much anguish.

respectfully,

Threatening someone and then saying it was a joke to get outa it... and then asking how to get in contact with the person who you just threatened... Maybe your just not thinking things through lol.

What it sounds like to me is that you threatened him to try and get him to comply. If you were doing the threatening as a joke to just see what he would do that is one thing. But you pretty much just said it was to pressure him into doing what ya wanted. Then when things still didn't work out for you, you then called it a joke. A joke is a much different thing than what you did. When you made those threats it doesn't sound like you were trying to get a laugh out of the situation...

The real question we need answered to help determine if it was a joke or not, what would you have done if your joking threats got him to apologize?
