    Guess i would want to know more on why the member was threatening the other member. IF just a pissing contest get rid of the threatening member. IF something worthy ( I'll just leave this open ) Well like i said i would want to know

    Install some cameras in the club

    Although always described as a cowboy, Roswellnative generally acts as a righter of wrongs or bodyguard of some sort, where he excels thanks to his resourcefulness and incredible gun prowesses.

    Seriously? The person making the threats of violence is the one violating the accepted behavior of the group, (any social group) whether the group be a frat, the police department, your platoon, or the community in general. Communicate to the violator that making threats is not "cool" or acceptable, or words to the effect that "we can't have that here". A second or continued violation needs to be addressed officially.

    On a CYA note, the fact that you witnessed such behavior and took no action puts YOU in a vulnerable position legally if the threatener carries out any threats. You may be able to shame the person with a somewhat sarcastic comment, "Thanks a lot buddy. Now if you do punch his lights out, beat the stuffings out of him, etc. it's not just you that gets into big trouble. I go down with you. So, back off. I can't afford to get arrested or fired because of you."

    Then, if he doesn't shape up, then HE is the one disrespecting YOU and your welfare, and you should no longer feel like a snitch to forward the information to whatever formal chain exists.

    I've had the same situation happen to me but it is a club that exists on the net.

    If this is a face to face club you should just make sure you have your carry on you.

    Does this club have established rules that address this sort of behavior?

    Does the other member feel threatened? What do they want to do about it? It needs to be addressed in some manner and not overlooked.

    The one receiving the threat should simply thump the one who threatens right on the tip of the nose. Follow him into the bathroom or something where there are no witnesses. 99.9% of all fights are ended with the first punch so you might as well be the one to throw the first one. In this new politically correct world, punching someone is not the accepted norm but it still works great.

    The one threatening violence is almost assuredly the one in the wrong and needs to be told so, but... I do think a duel would be pretty awesome. Next time he says something to that effect, plunk a couple of flintlocks on the table and say have at it!

    The one that made the threat has to slap the one he doesn't like in the face with a glove... then... it's a fight to the death!

    I saw it on a movie once.

    Both should be ringed and given a set of boxing gloves. NO others should join the fight.

    As will offten happen, neither one will be much interested in the fight.

    Guess i am guilty. (Not really a club.) Just a group of people grieving the loss of a loved one. New member comes in and sets next to me at the table. And in a loud voice gos into a rant on how we all have to all talk to our friends , neighbors and family to get out the vote for our "Saviour Obama". I ask him to eather change the subject or move down to the other end of the table. He continues his rant. Again i ask him to pick another subject or move. He states his right of free speech. I agree with him that he does have that right. But i also have the right to not have to listen to his rant and that if he continued . I would if necessary slap him in the mouth a few times to enforce my right. He did not move down the table but he was very quiet for the rest of the meeting.
    Now because of this i fully expected to be expelled from the group. Instead of all the pats on the back. And attaboys that i recived form the other members
