Saying "you'll hear from my lawyer" before telling them kindly to
remove it, I imagine.
I guess we all react to this kind of thing differently. I don't
interpret legal threats as much of a big deal. Outlawing them seems a
bit like changing the rules of poker to forbid bluffing. I prefer to
respond with comments like, "I dare you!" or more simply, " :-P ."
I
refuse to be intimidated by such nonsense.

The reason for getting rid of them is that a person who has stated
(almost certainly as a bluff, but possibly not) his desire and intention
of either ruining an editor's life or of financially destroying the
project is clearly not an asset to the encyclopedia. We don't simply
want someone who want to do us harm to have write-access to the
sum-total of human knowledge.
