I think one can make an argument that "reasonably making others fear for their safety" is also a good line. People don't necessarily know if you know where they live or not (and therefore whether or not you can carry out your threat). And, to be honest, there is no point in seriously threatening to kill or harm somebody in a discussion.

But threatening to kill or hurt someone already falls under the "illegal" part of reddit's rules. Do we really need further restriction?
And again: the world considers threats differently. What's considered harassment in California might not be what's considered harassment in Peru. Whose laws do we follow? Plain and simple: reddit is saying they are not for free speech. They are for San Francisco, CA, USA's view of allowable topics. That is not the world, and they can't survive with such a mentality.
