I can only judge by what others post (having blocked turbonium ages ago) but it seems we can now add the simple term "assault" to those turbonium doesn't understand. From
Cornell..

ASSAULT
1. Intentionally putting another person in reasonable apprehension of an imminent harmful or offensive contact. No intent to cause physical injury needs to exist, and no physical injury needs to result. So defined in tort law and the criminal statutes of some states.
2. With the intent to cause physical injury, making another person reasonably apprehend an imminent harmful or offensive contact. Essentially, an attempted battery. So defined in the criminal statutes of some states.
3. With the intent to cause physical injury, actually causing such injury to another person. Essentially, the same as a battery. So defined in the criminal statutes of some states, and so understood in popular usage.
Note the bolded parts... Turbonium, why do you think the legal term "battery" exists?
I don't post on forums where I don't know the topics at hand - I know very little about, oh say, quantum physics or neurosurgery.. I might go there to ask a question or for references, but I'd rather NOT make a fool of myself by suggesting that neurosurgery was imaginary or quantum entanglement was a hoax and that I knew more than those who were experts -
I would simply be revealing my ignorance/delusions. Even if I did try it, I would take a hint from a total lack of support...
I wonder what we can learn from that?
