I think it's technically threaten but I have heard threat used as a verb. Still doesn't fit in the sentence though.

In any case it still doesn't work in the sentence.

Its my experience over the years of talking to people, you don't need a scientific paper for that, its called intelligence, but don't warn about it, its your choice, do what you need to.
No that doesn't work. Maybe synonym of threat as a noun.

Still no.
I guess we just have different definitions of the word threat. Oh well. Whatever you meant is fine with me. 
Still no to me also, I said what I did and it doesn't need a genius to understand what I said, what's the big deal ?.

The big deal is how you argued about it being the correct use of the word.
