This is the reason I asked you to understand the difference between those two words. You're not making sense to me. The actual person who is typing words exists, is the ontos of the human (presumably), person writing your words. The username+avatar that is your "user" the abstraction that exists writing on a forum does not. Those two entities are distinct because I'm not making a metaphysical distinction regarding your person. I'm making an epistemic one. We don't have access to the ontological entity writing your posts. You are anonymous.
This is why i keep saying you're making an error. There is overlap between what we know (epistemology) and what the essence of a thing is. But, in the real practical world, if the physics of the current state of the world preclude us from the ontos, then that entity doesn't exist.
Here is the error you are making colloquially know as "mistaking the map for the place"

You seem to want to re-write the law, and say death threats only matter if you know the physical location of the person you threaten.
Do you have any law that states that, or just lmao epistemology and wikipedia links to logical fallacies?
No, because it doesn't exist. You can't go on facebook, reddit, twitter etc telling random people "I'm gonna find you and shoot you to death" then think it's some magical loophole where they can't charge you if you don't know their address.
