Ever hear of a young man named Jake Baker? He wrote a story on the net that someone interpreted as a threat. It was nowhere near as specific as what you wrote. He, too apologized for it. But the law had to investigate it before deciding that it wasn't a real threat.

And, Robert, here's something you might want to consider. Before the charges against Baker were dismissed, the court imposed a condition on him in order for him to remain out on bail. If a court were to impose that same condition on you, you would immediately become eligible to receive a nice envelope from the Sea Org with an official SP declaration inside. Namely, Baker had to obtain treatment from a "psych." And given the kind of publicity that a case like this would give the cult, I doubt that following the official procedure for un-SP'ing yourself (sorry, I forget the official Hubbardese for it) would get you anywhere.
