Is it more than feelings? Worst thing that happens when one receives a death threat is them getting seriously worried about it.
Luckily, I haven't received such treats in face (i.e. non-online), and all threats I've got online were so childishly retarded I think no sane person would ever consider them serious, but... I strongly suspect I'd be worried not about the statements, but about the actually happening offender's actions and physical situation I'm in. But it's only psychological, not physical harm.
Another possibility is if threat's here and it's subjectively serious enough to disregard, but offender seemingly does nothing (or cannot be observed), leaving me worried about the situation I'm in. But, again, it's only my feelings being hurt, no physical harm whatsoever.
I'm not trying to say such threats are nothing serious (they surely are), but I think I disagree about the "more than feelings" part.
And I think it would be much worse if I'll get suddenly attacked without any prior threats. So, silencing the threats may have negative effects.
