In reply to the discussion: I was threatened with rape today, NSFW [View all]justiceischeap
(14,040 posts)so take what I say with a grain or ten of salt but I don't know that that comment would be seen (by law enforcement) as a rape threat.
The closest that comes to a rape threat is in his profile where he specifically talks about rape. I think the police would see his comment directed towards you and redqueen as "bragging" about how hot you two are--sad but true. That said, maybe combined with his profile and that comment, someone may take action.
I would still try and talk to either his email provider (or yours if he sent direct communication to you) and report it. It never hurts to have this kind of thing on file for sick fuckers like him. I mean, how often do we hear about someone raping someone that has done things just like this but no one reported it?
I also think the fact that he got banned for creating a sock and not for saying what he said is disgusting. If after all this time Skinner et al. don't know that certain feminists on DU are targets because of their views, then they have their heads stuck in the sand on this issue.
