I found this on my meta talk page after I extended a ban on an IP that is virtually identical to an IP that had already been banned for making a hideous racial slur:

...

.... Murder of vast numbers of people who believe as you do becomes justified, when you use control of a technology that they don't have, to censor their views on what you are doing, and make it impossible

...

for them to stop you any other way.

Mav, I understand your deept trouble. And I agree wholeheartedly it is wrong to threaten people.

You certainly removed that very offending text. Fortunately, page history will keep track of such a threat, and will make it possible to estimate the extent of it. On which page is that threat by the way ?

I may have been wrong in banning the IP from en.wiki but I don't appreciate thinly veiled threats on my life.

I don't understand very well...Didn't you say you banned this ip from the en.wiki *before* the threats were made ? If so, how threats coming after the ban could have had any influence on the ban decision ?

Can we ban all this users IPs and perhaps call the cops?

I have not been able to understand what were the reasons for complaint towards these ips, except for the ulterior threats made on you.

Decisions for hard-security are *unfortunately* taken in cases of pure vandalism, such as goat image posting, or defacement of articles. Have these ips been doing such things ?

There is very little evidence 142 and 24 are the same persons here. I fail to see what supported banning 142 under the affirmation he is 24, the latter not even being banned any more.

Or is this an incorrect interpretation?

Please, do provide evidence to support your conviction these adresses are from the same person, and further evidence that both require banning.
