**Yeah, this is a tough one.
Sorta the diff btwn. your friend saying I hate you, or waving a knife round saying I gonna do it if you don't do what I want.
I think its the degree of seriousness thats a issue here.
There's pressure, and then there's COERCION.Main Entry: co·erce
1 : to restrain or dominate by force <religion in the past has tried to coerce the irreligious -- W. R. Inge>
2 : to compel to an act or choice <was coerced into agreeing>
3 : to achieve by force or threat <coerce compliance>
synonym see FORCE(love that dictionary thing now I found it)
So mebbe if there's pressure, its a DNpressure.
If its coercion, then if there's been any warnings, then it should be considered the direct attack it is and receive a block.
(1 week of course, STILL don't beleive in the escalation business-too fast)
