What's the most ridiculous reason why someone sent you death threats?

I played D&D 4e with a group of childhood friends for a few years in college. One of them was bipolar. Anyways we had been playing 4e for two years. New campaign. We were using character builder, which spat out our damage damage for us in the following notation:
X[w] + Stat
For those who don't know, 4e made use of "Powers" which are basically spells as you might think of how those function in 5e. Martial classes bought a weapon, which was a series of properties that carried over through out all your powers. That notates as [w], so the longsword has [w]= 1d8. Powers vary in how powerful they were. Each class has At-will, encounter, and Dailys... similar in function to short and long rest recharging abilities. My point is that encounters or dailys might do 2[w] or 3[w] or 4[w]. Use a longsword with Villain's Menace and its 3d8. Then add your strength.
He saw 1[d8] + 5
My friend rolled his damage. He saw the +5 noted for his strength, and then he forgot it was for that and added 5 again.
So he rolled 1d8 +5 +5
I told him he only added 5 once. This blossomed into an argument which carried on for an hour. He went home. And then the next day he sent me over 2000 words on facebooks in threats and death messages.
A week later, he messaged me again, and noted that I was right. He apologized. And then he told me I could have been less of an asshole.

Might be a fine line for a non public figure, but it's not too different from providing someone's Twitter handle after mentioning they were a dipshit. Assuming it's a public facing blog.
Well... I'm going to hold off in any case, because it doesn't take much reading to realise he has some kind of mental disorder. He might be an asshole as well as being disordered, but sharing his details would feel too much like collectively pointing and laughing at the disabled guy.

Totally fair, and makes sense.

My biological brother: for basicly all the time when i argue against him and prove him wrong. Last time: for showing him with litteral math that salt water does not take longer to boil!
What was the math? Doesn't salt increase the boiling point?

Then why does she scream 'oh my god!!! Jesus! Yes yes!!! Oh my fucking god!!!' when we're working on making her pregnant?
My wife prays to Crom when I'm hitting it.

Because I referred to Christianity as a cult.

Being a Christian
Christianity has a persecution fetish. I highly doubt that it was just for being one, unless you live in a Muslim country.

It does, yes. But only 1°C
Unless you boil in a cartoonishly huge cattle the time it takes for it to boil isnt noticeable affected -
I happened to mention that I believe in Christianity.

Fair enough
