Yes, motive is key. Lawsuits are to address legal grievances not to exact revenge. It is O.K. to threaten to sue someone over a transaction or course of conduct. It is not O.K. to sue someone just because they will cause the defendant court costs and attorney's fees and grief. Print out the post and save it. It would be admissible as to the REAL motive of the plaintiff for bringing their suit and may get you a summary judgment. If suit is filed in Federal Court I would seek sanctions, if in State Court, I would check that State's laws regarding the filing of malicious or ficticious lawsuits for possible counter-claim.
