Two things:
1. I agree, he's generally impotent to actually hurt anyone physically, I'm not worried about that. However, he has proven willing to work with the same assholes who wanted to destroy Null any way they could and has tried to hire hackers before. He might be an inept asshole, but his contempt for the law has only grown with age directly inverse to his remaining sanity.
2. Nate has come very close, and I mean VERY close, to other people doing all this as a result of his lessened compulsion to respect any legal restraints, and more than one of these parties has requested I be willing to do what I said I would, so it would be out of my hands to legally refuse to cooperate if it came that far anyway, and let's be frank, this asshole has already admitted to me if he had any of my personal deets, he would spread them to the far winds, including my SSN, to anywhere he thought doing so could cause me physical or other harm.
When he was just spewing impotent deaths threats, I agree with you all, he was harmless.
Now he's willing to break privacy laws and work with scum who tried to ruin the lives of the owner of this site and that of his family, and the only reason he couldn't do damage then was because he didn't have the information they needed, otherwise he would have done so in an instant.
I've also heard from other sources that one recorded instance of Nate trying to hire hackers was not the only one, other records of other attempts have surfaced, and certain parties are taking them far more seriously than I am.
