Wow he got a death threat in an email, which also asked for his address lmao.
Poor guy. First day on the internet must be tough.
If you receive a death threat that you think is real, you contact the police and the FBI. But considering that the man who was threatening him didn't even know his address, I struggle to think how he thought it was an actionable threat.
Dumb take. Like, really dumb. Totally missed the point of the article, to be honest.
Then again, you did warn us...
tldr: death threats are ok actually
