My first boss said, "I don't think I would respect a programmer if he couldn't insult my code." Insulting each other is part of being a programmer.........
Did he then post your home address online, and tell you he'd come over and assault you? That you're only use in life is as a pretty face to satisfy him?
No? Then it's not really in the same category, is it.
I've had (and delivered) crushing insults to work. Never felt the need to personally threaten anyone. (And I've had exactly *one* supervisor threaten my physically. Once. And I never worked with them again.)
