Comment on Update: Unity office death threat was made by a Unity employee

  The number of people being ruined is pretty different though.

  I get it, it’s a callous attitude, but I’m wondering if going for civility above anything else is really working out. I’d love to such situations to be settled with a reasonable discussion, but do they ever?

    Not sending death threats is the bar set for civility these days?

      Because a threat is not an attempt. Most likely they had absolutely no intention to carry through with it.

      It's still bad but saying "I'm gonna kill you" is not the same as actually trying to kill you.

        Obviously, but you don’t ignore it either. You don’t wait for a DUI to crash before doing something about the threat. Say you’d like to shoot the president and see if the secret service ignores you.
