to give notice before he goes ahead with litigation. It's beneficial. I don't really think threats of legal action are a big deal.
Banning someone who made a legal threat may encourage him/her to actually sue.
There's a need to distinguish between legal "threats" and a statement of intention to uphold one's legal rights.
More than that, one needs to distinguish between a "threat" and a request to remove material that violates some applicable law or intellectual property right. I don't think anyone is really suggesting we ban someone that simply requests we remove copyrighted material we have no right to use, or clearly defamatory content that has no evidence to back it up.
