Either it's against the rules to make such physical threats or it isn't. It can't go both ways. Both of them said it in an angry, pissed off manner. There is no difference.

Actually there is a difference. In fact there is an important difference.
Legally and socially most of what we say isn't taken literally. Context and tone are what allows co-existence.
The removal of context and tone is one of the key reasons that secondhand information causes so many problems. Its tainted by bias.
