For threatening legal action, **squish7** has been banned.

As a reminder to everyone, threats of legal action, either against the SDMB or against another user, are an insta-ban offense. Whenever someone threatens legal action, we moderators have no discretion in the matter. We are required to ban the user and forward everything to our admin so that the legal folks can be notified. There are no exceptions in this rule.

ETA:  
From the SDMB Registration Agreement:

> Threats of any kind against the SDMB, Sun-Times Media or their affiliates, including without limitation SDMB posters, staff, advertisers or other entities, regardless of where and how expressed, are not permitted. Users making such threats are subject to banning without notice. This includes threats of legal action even if not directed specifically at the SDMB.
