I feel that I must defend Halil here. He never threatened Oracle with a crack team of Turkish SAS. His response to her post about bombing Ankara and Istanbul was no threat but rather a sound and friendly warning. People would like to think that they're anonymous on the Internet, but they're not. Others are listening and they pick up certain words and phrases. Some things written on a forum could very well attract the attention of some countries' information gathering mechanisms. And God knows what they do with the information they collect.
I think it's safe to say that Oracle has no reason to worry about Turkish SAS... or CIA or anybody else for that matter. But in these days of the war on terrorism you never know who is listening and keeping track on the information flow. If you say things that can be misinterpreted it's only fair to assume that you can find yourself in a position of attracting heat from certain organisations.
So Halil's advice was no threat but rather a reminder that once should think twice before typing certain words. Because you never know who is listening and how those words will be interpreted and acted upon.
I really do not think that such faceless and innocent comments, used in the context that it was, will definately not create any interest amongst anyone. Serious threats would not be made on a public forum.
