ACL:
I understand this is way off topic for the thread, however it seems that your reply is analagous to saying, "Yes, I saw my neighbor beating his wife. But unless she calls the cops, it's none of my business."
I respect the position you and the other mod's are in. I would say however, that when you have someone who is using the TOS rules in a manner that allows them to issue threats...veiled or otherwise...against others...that the party sending the p/m's should be identified to the recipient by the mods if the recipient requests the information.
Levels the playing field a bit.
