Pegasos presentation in 'neues' cancelled! : Comment 75 of 179 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Anders Kjeldsen on 22-May-2002 09:49 GMT | In reply to Comment 66 (Ole-Egil Hvitmyren): It's you who do not get the point, Ole-Egil. "If I get this job, I will take you all do dinner" - "Oh my god, he's threatening us to take us to dinner, oh my God!". You see, telling about a consequence isn't neccesarily the same as a threat. That's why, in the movies, people who feel threatened often ask "Are you threatening me?". I'm not threatening anyone, but just so you know it: I will not support a company who uses dirty tricks to slow down the development of competitive product. (And no, this was not targetet at anyone yet)
To boicott something cannot be a personal threat. One can say it could be "a threat for business", but then the word is used some what differently.
However, whatever your conclusion is; the word "threat" makes it sound a lot more worse than it is :) |
