I personally don't read a lot of the poster's posts. I scan the initial line on the board and only open the post if it is addressed to me or part of a discussion thread that I am following. Unless ... occasionally I have some extra time to kill and decide to sort of catch up.
There are of course posters that I give some extra credibility to and I usually read whenever they post.
Therefore, I wouldn't know the content of the Mercenary_Man's posts. I just don't even read them. I read the one the other day simply because it contained my alias in the first line as I scanned the board. I think I read one or two of the post by he/she/it in the beginning (why I used the word "silly" to describe them) and decided that I wasn't interested in reading that particular poster. So, if their post are malicious threats I wasn't aware of that.
I have personally received malicious and very nasty emails from posters that I don't even read on the boards. My normal response to such people is not to give them the time or response that they are looking for. My energies are best used for positive rather than negative engagements. That is why I didn't even bother to respond to Mercenary_Man's post to me the other day ... I just wasn't interested in even being drawn into responding or engaging with that poster, and I certainly didn't want to receive an email from them.
