It's the other way round. Seeking redress through the courts could possibly cause someone to lose his right to edit Wikipedia.
Nobody has a right to edit at wikipedia.org. We are all simply granted that privilege and that privilege can technically and legally be revoked at any time and without notice for any or all editors.
But we do try to only revoke editing privileges when it is really necessary. So our social norms and policies try to strike a balance.
At least that is my view of things.
