As a point of clarification: swiftboatvetsareliars@yahoo.com is the e-mail address the threatening e-mails are sent out under.
if you start getting email from the bad guys:
abuse@yahoo.com
Threats sent out via a yahoo account is a violation of their agreement with Yahoo. You should complain to:
http://abuse.yahoo.com/
I am willing to bet it is some high school kid.
