Hey gang, maybe y'all should re-read the thing. I said nothing about
receiving a post that threatened us to take some action. I mentioned
that we had no plans to "blacklist" anyone, and that threats of any kind
(I used killing kittens, but it could have been puppies or anything) were
quite unlikely to make us do so. Threatening *posts* are an entirely
different matter.

Playing Devil's Advocate here. So, if I say that, if you don't post my
post to rpm, I will kill YOU, would be treated differently than if I said
I would kill a baby kitten or all your koi?

No. I would actually report either of those to the police (experience says
it makes no difference if I report it to their ISP).

But if someone threatened to kill someone or something if I didn't blacklist
someone else - which is Galen's example - I agree that I'm not blacklisting
the third party on those grounds.
