I'm not interested in the jokes themselves in this conversation, leave them for the judges to analyze. My point is that the boundary must be the law as for anything in society. If I threat you somehow, you must have legal tools to deal with me and prevent me to continuing doing that. The same way goes if I threat you but desguised as a joke, understand? Regarding the threat itself, you want me to give an example of joke so that you can analyze it and see yourself if it is an actual threat or something like that. I don't have a real life example of one that can be categorized as the example I brought (the joky threat). But I defend that you have legal tools to deal with them

The threat would be a call to a harmful action, not words themselves. Words alone that aren't indicative of action are not threats. 

For example, "I think you're ugly" isn't a threat even if it's offensive. "I want to stab you with a knife" is a call to action and threatening. That's the difference.
