Without seeing these death threats made to the other person it's his word vs theirs. Especially considering the game involved the sole purpose is to kill one another. The line between threats to kill in real life and 'I'm so gonna kill you!' Meaning in the next game can easily become blurred when people take things literally... Such as those with autism...

Responding with abusive messages of your own is optional though.

Otherwise you can't complain when the standards you expect everyone else to adhere are then applied to yourself.

I am not defending that posted in any way. The post here showed how they conduct themselves. I was addressing deannatrois saying nothing was done about the death threats. We don't know for certain anything about thrm
