Surely this is a threat?
Somebody posted the following on Facebook:
"the morbid truth; continue the way your going, and you wont have a life left after i am finished with yew, i mean the pain wont last forever, but no one will be able to hold your suffering in there arms, you will be in perfect ruin, and i'll be there to lick up your blood cause there ain't *** all you *** can do about it, cause my revenge is colder than ice. This isn't a threat only a promise in which yu wont escape fate."
I am 100% sure that this is still classed/defined as a threat...even though he said it's only a promise? We're debating it, but he just won't accept that fact that the status is still classed as a threat.
Clarification?

I hardly think it's worth debating. It's obviously a threat.
The difference between a threat and a promise is the result to the threatened or promised party. That's why we can have an exchange like this:
- If you don't do as I say, I won't talk to you anymore.
- Is that a threat or a promise?
The second speaker wonders if not hearing the first person talk to him an
