If you truly are unable to grok the reality that something can threaten, without a directly issued verbal threat, I cannot help you, and will not insult myself by continuing the debate. Lol.
But I will answer.
Is this what you mean?
Adam & Ben - “HEY GRAHAM! WE ARE GOING TO RUIN YOUR LIFE! JUST WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW!”
⬆️ Did this happen? No.
Now, if your “argument” is that in absence of an explicit, direct threat, such as the silly example above, no evil, and/or threatening deeds are ever or ever can be carried out, which threaten people’s lives, then I honesty do not know what to tell you.
This is...basic reality. Your life can be threatened by a murder plot without you knowing it, no? A doxxing plot without you knowing it, no?
Yes, or no?
