This all depends on what you mean by a "credible" legal threat.  Bauer 
has gone beyond the threat stage, but was her threat credible in the 
first place?  There comes a point where a person has to take a stand or 
be forever backpeddling.  Litigious people are well aware that most of 
the population is deatly afraid of being sued, and have no compunctions 
about taking advantage of the fact.
