I don’t see how it was a threat anymore than all precommitments to do negative things are ‘threats’.
One reasonable definition of a threat would be: “A precommitment to harm someone else if they perform, or fail to perform, certain actions.”
So, it’s not more of a threat than any other precommitment to do negative things in response to others actions.
