I've personally been threatened with bodily harm a couple of times in the over a quarter of a century I've been on the Internet, and while I can't say it didn't effect me, I suppressed any desire to panic and realized that the assholes in question were, well, just assholes, and the odds were pretty damned low that I was ever in danger.
Were you threatened repeatedly over a year or so by someone you lived with for 7 years and had current knowledge of where you live and all your daily habits? Or were you threatened in 733t speak by "IRCHandle151" in a post because you like VI or whatever? If its the latter I can understand why you thought the odds are pretty low of the threat being carried out.
