Yes, I had some that were EXTREMELY threatening.

OTOH what he threatened was so extreme that either he was a member of
some super-powerful organisation, or he was an immature kid just trying
to sound big.

I suspected the latter, but didn't see any point in telling him so.

Eventually when I stopped responding, he just left off emailing me.

The trouble was that Lee _did_ have some good ideas, and would have been
a worthwhile member of the group if he could have only learned to accept
well-intentioned criticism in the spirit in which it was offered.
