Open any of his posts. Below the button that say "Answer this question", there are several smaller buttons. Click the one with the little flag on it. Yahoo then takes you to a brief form where you can report him - it's kept anonymous from him. There's a drop-down list of several options for why you're reporting him (adult content, child protection, spam, etc) and a write-in box if you want to include other comments to Yahoo.
When I find someone really objectionable like this, I then click on his name to view all the other questions he's asked lately, and report those questions as well. If Yahoo gets a whole lot of reports about a specific username, then they will block him, and he'll have to come up with a new identity before he can rant again.
What you can to protect yourself is go to your own profile, and change your privacy settings. Uncheck the boxes that allow people to email/IM you. Do this for at least a week unless this buttwipe gets bored of harassing you.

There should be an option somewhere near the top of the email (like around the sender, time, etc. info) where it gives you the option to FLAG THE MESSAGE. Click on this flag, and you will most likely see a list of options to choose from. you pick which category the message falls under, then give an explanation, and the sender will be reported! This option is for both regular Yahoo! email and email through Yahoo! Answers. I've flagged people before for the same thing, and it's completely anonymous so you don't have to worry! <3

It is better to ignore him, and block him. Eventually he will get what he deserves. Or you can go to the police with evidence of his comments and see if they will do anything. Maybe the will, maybe they won't...never know. They should have assault laws against the threats he was making too.
