I think khim meant that the specific people who made the death threats or
whatever are tolerated in the community because nobody knows that those
specific people made the threats, and that if it was widely known, those
people would (one hopes) be ostracised or in some other way receive
negative social reinforcement. (Being nasty to people who send death
threats seems fine to me. Such people have shown themselves to not be
shrinking violets already.)
