Awful threats and language in chat? Is that OK?

I play a rated correspondence game vs a person rated 100 points above me. He makes a mistake and wants a takeback. I refuse as it is rated and he is way above me in rating.
This is his response (I have changed his name to xxxx):
"xxxx A s s h o l e
xxxx How can someone be kind when he is form sweden xd
xxxx Hope you live in malmo
xxxx And one of your african or asian brothers will rape you"

I don't want to lose points by resigning to a person like that and I don't want to timeout either. I have reported him but nothing seems to happen. Now I have to keep playing him not to loose points. Is it OK to threaten someone with rape?
Please give me some advice what to do!
I see two choices:

1. You should get a pair of those new anti-rape underwear. Rape has been increasing drastically in Sweden for well-known reasons.

or:

2. Stand up for yourself. Remember that Viking blood may run through your veins. Stop being a victim.
That was a really stupid reply! Sigh!
In what way can I stand up for myself without behaving the same way? Do you really like Lichess to be like that?
U can also turn the chat off. So u don't see what he is writing. And yes ofc u should report him as lovlas said :)
The way I see it he didn t say anything that offensive except the a. word and he didn t "threaten" you with rape. I believe there was a certain GM on lichess that threatened Lance with physical liquidation, this is just an upset troll. you people from Swedenistan are way too sensitive.
Send him a few kisses back and a smile and then turn the chat off. The problem is, after him saying that and you riling him even more, you can be sure he will be hellbent on victory - at all costs (including engine assistance). Not sure how to counteract that without cheating yourself, but it's OK to cheat to beat a cheat in my book. XXX :)
Why are people complaining that Bengtf is too soft? This is the troll's fault, not Bengtf's. Screw the troll.

Stamp out bad behaviour in chess..
