  • As is verbal abuse, which is what Broman was referring to.

  • The technical term is malicious harassment, which has various definitions depending or your state of residency, but is in fact illegal. Besides the fact that this is all a moot point because OP is overdramatizing Broman's claim, as it was a passing comment made only to demonstrate his loyalty to his friends, not a promise made with intent.

    So everyone on the internet should get a lawyer? I don't think so, because although I'm not a lawyer, every place I can find malicious harassment defined, it involves either physical violence, or threats, and always involve some protected category of person. Nowhere can I find a definition which involves simply saying mean things.

  • Consult a lawyer. Or the internet. Punch someone for words, and you could do time. They won't.

  • Yeah because I'm going to stay back and relax when someone constantly verbally attacks you.

  • I'm not talking about me I can handle my own, I'm talking about those who can't defend themselves.

  • [quote]Sorry for English not being my first language, I don't know proper grammer[/quote] Your grammar was fine. I was trying to think of someone who couldn't defend themselves verbally.

  • Oh sorry didn't realize you were pointing at a general group. But not them I'm talking about those who are not very good at verbally defending themselves.
