Zoe
Could one of the developers get this creep's IP so
that Zoe can call the cops? This is well above being a
simple bannable offense. Death threats can never be
justified.
That's certainly highly inappropriate on Wikipedia, and quite probably
contravenes their ISP (AOL)'s terms of service as well. If Zoe would
like to complain to AOL on this matter, by all means do so.

The e-mail address set in the account is Weezer76(a)aol.com (though it
should be pointed out we make no attempt to verify e-mail addresses, and
cannot guarantee that this is the actual address of the person or even
if it is a valid address; AOL should be able to look into it, I imagine
their web proxies keep logs which can be traced to particular users.)
