not all threats are harmful
he couldve threatened her with a bad review, he could have threatened to never see her again. he couldve threatened to tell his hobby buddies not to see her he couldve threatened numerous things that are not in tjhe least bit dangerous to her safety. what to her constitutes a threat to her. may not constitute a threat of safety to her or the community. therefore she should atleast give a partial explanation or pm a mod as to the nature of the threat

I guess that is where the difference in opinion lies. I don't feel it is my business to judge the severity of the threat to evaluate its legitimacy. I trust as a member of this community, and of society as a whole, she can make that determination for herself. The very definition of the word makes it pretty clear that threats should be alert worthy.
threat
[thret]
noun
1.a declaration of an intention or determination to inflict punishment, injury, etc., in retaliation for, or conditionally upon, some action or course; menace
But then this is just another tilt at a windmill as only members have said anything to defend the moderators actions. No actual explanation from the mods.
