the context is much more specific than “you told them”. it’s “you told them because you had to tell them to exercise your threat of violence”. it feels like much more of a grey area than you are making out.

First of all, all you wannabe libertarian snowflakes need to make up your minds whether words are violence or not. If someone insulting you on social media isn't, then getting sent an email isn't either. Second, and I find it very concerning that this seems to be news to you, *publicly posting someones name on the internet* that *wasn't known before* – esp someone who *is public about his interests in bitcoin* – puts this person at serious risk of *actual violence* –> e.g. someone coming to your house and cutting your fingers off or kidnapping your family. Honestly appalling to even attempt to be making a comparison here between sending someone *an email* and putting that person's life in *actual danger* and then going on to call that "a grey area."
