Meh, I didn't overlook it. The very first quote I saw about "killing you for real" I took as typical Internet bluster, quoted out of context for breathless shock value - "people on the Net are monsters! Sure, everyone says stuff like this but they actually mean it!" But the later mentions of people trying to find out his details... yeah, massive pile of fail all around.

(And yet, I do still think that there is some element of "he started it" involved - especially since a commenter above indicates that he's apparently gone back to doing the same thing. What's his excuse now, "further research"?)
