You're absolutely right that moderators bias is part of the equation. I was trying to make a delineation between actionable and desirable. Afaik the FBI only looks into and responds to direct actionable threats. My personal stance is that these comments are ugly but I'd only remove them if they fell into that category in which the FBI would take notice.
I do see that as becoming a direct threat if the person giving it has a known cadre of people willing act on their words. Such as a military or cult leader might.
The first example "someone take this" is indirect. Edit: upon reflection this could be a direct threat if the person saying it might make it happen by their influence alone. Like a mob leader saying "someone take out this trash"
The second example is even more indirect. Doesn't say he would do it. Doesn't say anyone else would do it. Doesn't even say what it is. A threat yes, but a veiled threat.
The third example is more of the same. Like saying "I hope you choke on it!" isn't a threat.
Thanks for playing the music.
Poo, minimum 32 ETH or at current prices $19k. This reinforces my dislike of staking. Only making the already rich richer. Keeping lesser ETH holders out of the profit.
But who am I kidding; if I magically had 32 ETH to stake I'd probably feel differently.
Losing your mind now and then is absolutely okay.

I still want to learn cursive but my handwriting style uses plenty of flourishes that mimic cursive. Or writing words that are nearly illegible but easy to know in context.
