Fred, Welcome to the club...


Thanks, Bob.


Interesting site...you've found a way to turn a negative into a
positive.
I've only had 3-4 death threats. The first one worried me...but like
anything after you get some more you get used to it.
Its odd how people will go ballistic when you question their
beliefs...heh...silly humans


It has only been in the last 20 or so years that "I'm going to kill you"
and variations thereof have been perceived by ordinary people living
ordinary lives as a death threat rather than as a metaphor for "You're
in big trouble now."

"If you track mud on my floor again, dear, I'm going to kill you."
"If you kids don't pipe down, I'm going to kill you."
"My parents are going to kill me if they find out."

Bill Cosby had the best one:

"I brought you into this world, and I can take you right back out again.

Given the age of most people here, I rather think that it is hyperbole
to characterize some of the death threats I've seen as anything but
hyperbole.
