I think there was enough in the clips to see how it would have went. Technicality Rick does the thing where he uses a proprietary definition of something and then doesn't share what his own unique version is. "A name is only a word that a person responds to, therefore my mother has never responded to raven, so that is not her name." It's like page one in the how to be a dishonest interlocutor handbook.
You could hear the ole gears grinding away. He was saying that it wasn't a threat because "he threaTened me first". He's defining a threat as an unprovoked message, and defining his response as self defense. "It's not a threat because I was responding".
But that's not the standard usage. He does this all the time. I'm guessing its something "mama raven" taught him either explicitly to get his way, or he just picked up. It works on people even more retarded than him, but any normal human, even if they can't identity what he's doing in technical terms, see he's being dishonest.
It's insane to me that both the wine lawyer, and the DMV idiot indulged this tactic in their fillings. They all read like a Tomlinson Technicality tweet.
