Posting threats on the Internet is generally retarded, when will these kids learn, unlike grafitti in a bathroom, posting a threat online is more easy to track. Hopefully, boy wonder will get some sense slapped into him. But hopefully, this wasn't because of bullies... as it usually is. But it seems like it is. --TUFKAAP - (talk) 15:33, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
The Internet gives these people the confidence of anonymity, that they can broadcast their actions and no one will ever know how to stop them. He did it on Wikipedia so more people would hear and talk about it, but no duh, Wikipedia is one of the most watched and secure places on the internet (in the sense of everyone's IP is recorded for every thing you do and someone somewhere is going to know what it is in mere seconds... or in a case like mine, at first glance.) - 67.142.130.35 14:26, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

TBH, the fact someone reported a threat made over the internet is pathetic. Fallen-Griever - (talk) 16:07, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
- To be equally honest, it would only have been pathetic if it had been a more lackluster thread. A specific list of targets is a pretty blatant threat, and demands a lot more attention than your average, run-of-the-mill "I hate everyone bang bang"-type threat.
