Not really. You conveniently snipped my reply down to this and naturally, if i only said that, then yes, it would be simple. But, it's not.

It was snipped down as that was all that counts.

I have done this many times. In a discussion when i am trying to enforce a point or to emote more feeling into a particular word or sentence.

When you pointed with your finger or pen or match or twig what was the useage of the object?

Yes, however the bat was there, for precisely this reason, ie we need to deal with this case as it stands:

But you are not dealing with it as it stands, you have let your emotions get in the way.
So if he didn't intend to hit him then the intent was errrrrr.....damn you shot yourself there didn't you, can you see it yet?
But you havn't seen at all, you have managed to shoot your own arguement to pieces but cannot see it.

Now, in relation to feeling threatened by pointing something at someone, sure, if you point a gun at someone then ofc that is threatening.

How is pointing someone a gun threatening? its only being used to point to emphasise words....unless of course it is being used there in its capacity as a weapon.
Hold on what did you say he had the bat for?
You said it was there as a weapon didn't you
So it is no different from "pointing" a gun at someone or "pointing" a knife at someone.
Now he might have a the legal defence of self defence in regards the actual hitting of the nonce with the weapon he had brought to threaten with.
But according to your article he used it because the nonce laughed and I don't think laughter constitutes an actual assault does it so that self defence angle doen't run?
