Today I blocked a user for making legal threats. See User:Gordy and Vandalism in progress. Since doing that I have received two emails threatening to take me to court
"You claim to have banned me for threatening wiki with legal action. at no time did I do this. I may well have suggested that to personal users, including yourself, and believe me, I am serious in my threat, so serious in fact that I already have draft writ produced in the time that I have waited on you getting back to me."
He goes on to write
"The whole impression that you have created of me is derogatory, defammatory and extremely distressing. Such actions can be remedied legally, and believe me, I you continue to push me on this one, you better have a good lab technicians salary, because I'll take you personally to the cleaners. Your actions can be addressed by way of writ for interdiction/ and or damages, because on at least two counts you have interfered in a matter which I did not believe was any concern of yours."
And in a separate email he writes:
"Having secured wiki's legal owners, I shall then be compelling them by order of court to provide me with the full names and addresses of the individuals who have attacked me on this unbelievable place, whereby I can raise personal actions against those individuals without harming wikipedia."
So it's not just me, he intents to sue others as well. There is actually a lot more but it's mostly just rant.
1) Was I right to block him or did I act too hastily?
2) Should I respond to his email or ignore it?
(3. I've just typed ~~~~ instead of my name does this mean I'm a wikiaddict?)
