"That is, threats that are not going to be carried out."

Oh well, in that case its all fine.

We can go round threatening who ever we like as long as we don't intend on carrying out that threat.

You of course miss the fact that while there may not have been intent to carry out the threat the recipient of the threats could not have known that - the result is still the same, causing fear.

Add to that the fact that BWs home address was published on 4Chan and you have quite a fear inducing cocktail.

Regardless of the above your argument is invalid, Even without intent if you find yourself threatening someone online you are a cock.

I find it quite telling that you post as anon. How many emails did YOU send?
