Interesting edit summaries he writes! But just as a note of pedantry, telling someone to die is not a threat, but a command...
Just picture him shouting "Just die! Alright! Yes! Fucking die! Now!" while he has his hands around your neck. Now that's pretty threatening. (and yes, I'm familiar with the imperative mood) ;)
Yes ... but then simply having his hands around my neck is rather threatening right there. We don't have that here.
OTOH, I've seen someone expelled from school for commanding an administrator over the 'Net to die, so however *we* decide to respond to this command, I strongly caution everybody that *others* may not be too generous. So don't do it! ^_^
