Extortion, outwresting, or exaction is a criminal offense, which occurs when a person either unlawfully obtains money, property or services from a person, entity, or institution through coercion or intimidation or threatens a person, entity, or institution with physical or reputational harm unless he is paid money or property.
Quit downmodding me, shitheads. I'm trying to keep this numbskull out of bankruptcy court or prison.
EDIT: No, really. I want ONE person to admit having downmodded me. Seriously. You've got some potential criminal posting shit here and he needs corrected.
I didn't downmod you but I think that the reason people did wasn't the legal warning (which is certainly valid and relevant,) but the tone. Insulting people just doesn't get them to listen.
