Ah, I think I see the problem. The situation, as originally described, did not say anything about a
casual comment. It was a deliberate communication of details designed to push a person who was already unstable over the edge. A person who, as the original post said, had convinced person A that they would kill person B if they had an affair. This is not about a casual comment, or dealing with a person of normal sanity. It is about a deliberate revelation of the *proof* of an affair, given to a person who could be expected to then kill person B.
From the original posting:
Person A wants person B to die. Person B is in a relationship with person C and is having an affair with person D. Person A knows about the affair and believes that person C will kill person B if they find out. Person A brings proof of the affair to person C. Person C kills persons B and D.

But the original posting quite specifically stated that the person A told person C about the affair, believing that person B would crack and kill person B. For them to believe that person C would go berserk and kill person B, person C *must* come across as a person of borderline sanity (or else person A is such a person). Either way, it is not the person who you are arguing with who is mentally ill, it is either A or C (or both), as stated in the original post.
