I asked *where*, as in a link. Even suspected sockpuppets are fine, because checkuser is not a crystal ball, and I am not too shabby at patterns. The standard for reporting to police is common assault. That means an explicit threat of violence against a specific individual, organization or group. It is a lot more common in bars where you can read how serious they are. Hence the question to Durova about "How did that make you feel?". (It makes the written medium more difficult, and not impossible). The transaction must be accessible to police if not me.

That counts as a personal attack on wikipedia. It does not count as common assault, so I do not see any visits from the F.B.I. prompted by the R.C.M.P., for Jeremy Hanson, today. Maybe some phone calls from vocal wikipedians...'What was the point of that comment you made to ...., saying "...", no wonder some people want to block Verizon... Why don't you spend time in news://alt.flame ? ... Lotsa room for a potty mouth in there. For that matter, there is room for people who want to make serious accusations against high and ancient religious figures.
