Have you reported this man to the authorities? While he’s served time for the threats he issued, his behavior since has indicated he is likely to commit other crimes if given an opportunity. Also, he’s admitted to raping his wife.

While I’m not a fan of the concept of “thought crime” it would seem prudent to have this man on some kind of watchlist.

A pay gate on HuffPo? I’ve never had to pay for a single article and there are ads all over the site. Are you sure you’re talking about the same thing?

I think there's just a stigma associated with the term "mental disorder". It can feel somewhat judgmental, even when the person using the term doesn't mean it that way.

Hi, Caitlin! Thanks for this AMA, and for all the wonderful work you've been doing to change the conversation surrounding death in our society. I think it's long overdue, and having someone with such a realistic, yet enlightened, view of death as a part of the natural cycle of things is revolutionary.

I imagine, when you first started doing Ask A Mortician (which I love!!), you got a lot of negative feedback from people who aren't comfortable dealing with the reality of death in such a matter of fact way. I'm sure you still face a lot of that now. My question is this - how do you deal with negativity in response to your discussion of what should be one of the most universal topics in life?

Thanks again for everything you're doing, and for helping so many of us come to better terms with death and dying - you're amazing!
