We already have enough excuses for banning people. We don't need
another one. These threats are almost always hollow.
My response to legal threats is, "Go ahead and sue." When the person
finds out what's involved in bringing forth a suit across international
jurisdictions they quietly drop the whole thing.
This is another variation of, "Don't feed the trolls."
