what they constitute as a death threat and these screenshots have confirmed my opinion that people don't know what death threats are.
Yup.
I'm not even going to get concerned if someone says they're going to kill me. That's technically a death threat, and it's certainly not cool, but it's not something I'll freak out about.
Now, post my full name, address, and tell me you're going to kill me? Yeah, that's time for police involvement and, if I want to flaunt it, internet attention. That's the type of threat worth getting upset/outraged over.
"DIE" is not a death threat. Like you said, it's not polite or respectable, and that person should be mocked, but if you claim it's a death threat you look a little silly.
Lots of what they do is malicious pretending and only works because well-intentioned third parties didn't stop them before they seized power and made themselves invulnerable to any reasonable defense.
