Well, I'm not going to ban Jonathan for this, obviously.
In private email it has become clear to me that he didn't really grasp what this was all about. He didn't know the whole history of 24, and so it took it to be more of a joke or idle remark than anything else.
Even if it *were* a joke or idle remark, I wouldn't tolerate implied death threats for a second. But I can certainly see how reasonable people might differ on juding borderline cases. This one is not borderline, though.
