I am horrified by the way that someone is clearly threatening to murder one of us. I am surprised that so few people here find this a problem. Does anything think that a death threat is a joke? How would you like it if someone was justifying the murder of your children?
Also, I just as horrified by the way that Jonathan (Clutch) slanders this victim, justifies the clear death threat, and - in a moment of absolute delusions - implicitylu blames this on me (RK). For months now, as many of you know, Jonathan has been suffering from paranoid delusions that the Wikipedia community hates Christians. Now, we see the depth of his illness.
I have said so before, and I say, again, Jonathan needs to be banned from Wikipedia. Not only does he have a long history of printing anti-Semitic incitement, but now he has reached out with hateful speech to others here. Apparently in his mind, it is Ok to send implic it death threats to Wikipedia sysops.
Hey, if I don't like what a sysop says to me, can I threaten to murder them too? ...
The real problem is why the rest of you let such a disturbed and hateful person justify death threats, anti-Semitism, and paranoid anti-Christian conspiracy theories. This man needs medication; not unlimited access to disrupt the Wikipedia community. This disruption of Wikipedia only occurs because you allow it to.
If you allow anaonymous users to send very clear death threats, and if you allow wackos to stay on Wikipedia justifying them (or denying that they exist) all you will end up doing is driving rational people away from this project. I certainly won't stay on a project where anti-Semites might threaten to kill me. Is this really so hard to understand?
Or will I get a death threat myself for writing this letter?

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.

You reveal yourself by the words of your own mouth.

euh ?!?!?
Do you really think that threats to a sysop are worse than threats to a non-sysop ???
Are they more "precious" or what ?
