If you're talking about the message left on Oliver's talk page, it was a threat by a banned user which included reference to a dream about him where "knees were nailed to the floor from the back" and other such lovely details. That's precisely what moderation features on any site are for, and to the extent that it included implications of violence, yes, bringing safety concerns to the attention of senior staff at WMF is appropriate.

Again, this is not my concern. It is my prerogative whether to talk to WMF employees privately, however, and I choose not to. My apologies that we won't be able to carry on with our own private conversation, Erik.
