| Is This Considered A Death Threat? |
|
Advertisements [?]
a friend of mine posted something (apparently a bit controversial--it was an excerpt from a film he reviewed) on a website and among the various comments to his excerpt was this:
"You are so gay I want to kill you. lol  "should he ignore this? people are able to link to my friend's website and he is not posting anonymously. i'm concerned about this. while he doesn't want to stir up more dust over this controversial opinion of his by reporting the comment to the website he put the excerpt on (and in which this person replied to him), i think something should be done. i'm just not sure what. |

Most likely, it is one of the many empty threats homophobes spew, but |

I think it's just a stupid, unkind comment. |

Fear is one of the first tactics used by evil. |

The 'lol' (man, I hate that stupid acronym) and happy face kinda neautralize it, perhaps. |

yes, it is a threat. adding "lol" is merely defensive |
