I just received the following death threat in my comment moderation queue:

DIE
Jul 23, 9:48 AM
Obviously I’m a bit concerned. This is my first major blog, and I’m wondering: is this normal when a blog hits a certain size, or should I call the police? The same person left a comment that I deleted as spam a few minutes before saying “go f*** yourself”. They were kind enough to leave a (wrong) email at my domain as the contact info, but fortunately they left their IP address which police can use to track them.
Let me know what you think.

PS In case it isn’t obvious, my response to the comment is “I’d rather not”

1Weird. Do you have any known enemies? I want to say don’t worry about it, could be just some kid playing on the internet.

2I would guess or suggest that you’ve either picked up a haterz (I’m sure you know what I’m referring to) or some other blog owner thinks your link in every comment is spam.

3Um, I hate to break it to you, but that’s really not a death threat. That’s somebody who thinks you should die for spamming your url in your digg comments. A death threat is something like “I know where you live and I’m going to kill you.” “Die” is simply not a death threat, quit the over dramatization.

4One more reason to keep this blog anonymous I guess. I’ll let it go.

5Letting it go may be fine for now, but definitely make sure that you keep an eye out for more comments, suspicious activity, etc…

7Could have something to do with that negative comment a few days ago… They must like your site if they are putting the effort into commenting and e-mailing. lol

9Sounds like a jealous hater on your hands. Just make note and save the IP, if anything goes down you might refer back to it.
Also, sleep with one eye open! Just kidding!

12i can see how someone might wish ill on you. so far i don’t see any value here. perhaps you will write articles that consumers read just before they investigate your advertisers. even if you do, i won’t see value. this life isn’t about shopping so why should its blogs be? looks like you’ve got a lot of freaky readers already so sell, sell, sell. i don’t have to hang around.

13The goal of this site isn’t shopping, it’s freedom. And I’m sorry you’ve chosen not to be entertained, or to learn the lessons I’ve learned on this Journey.

14No one is gonna kill you man. You are being too dramatic or a fearful chicken. If you are fearful for your life, call the police and network TV.
Damn, you sure will make a million in a year with this hoopla.
You started it! Why not take it all the way?

15Still no reason to wish ill on someone John. If someone doesnt like they blog then they can choose not to read it
