I think the point isn't so much that you object to people killing each other, but rather that you wished death on a member who was currently about to undertake a great physical and mental challenge. What if, as a soldier going into a warzone, MRD killed someone in the last defence of his life, would that be ok? But you didn't qualify you statement at all, you just said 'I hope you die'. If you can't see how that's bordering on a threat, I think perhaps you might be having a hard time looking beyond the political issues and seeing the person behind the username who you are addressing, and seeing how your words will affect them. Perhaps a break from the backroom would be a good thing if this is the case?
