Teacher:In this task, you are given a public comment from online platforms. You are expected to classify the comment into two classes: threat and non-threat. Threat is a statement that someone will be hurt or harmed, especially if the person does not do something in particular.
Teacher: Now, understand the problem? Solve this instance: Comment: I am getting thoroughly sick and tired of the DM's sub-editor who keeps harping on about the Cape Water Crisis at any opportunity. I quote from the headline on my email summary:

"South Africa beat Ireland and France to be recommended, unanimously to boot, to be the preferred candidate to host the 2023 Rugby World Cup. The decision is a major boost for South Africa's chances, as the ensuing vote generally goes to the preferred candidate. Hopefully, there'll be enough water for the Western Cape to help host as well by then."

What is it with you people? What did the Cape ever do to you to deserve this continual harping on about a very serious problem? You should be TOTALLY ASHAMED OF YOURSELVES.
