How I React to Online (Anonymous) Threats

Some enterprising dude has been sending a few anonymous (but definitely serial, and from the same source) threats to one of my oldest email addresses.

The actual threat described is one I've heard a number of times during the course of my lifetime.  "I'll tell so and so about _____." My reaction:  Stop being melodramatic.  Don't assume that other people's opinions are any of my business.

Life is too short to worry that much about reputation.  We live in a digital society, and almost everything is connected to the internet.  I stand by my actions, including my mistakes.  No one is perfect.
