Default Dealing with problem users and copyright law

Hi,

Just curious if anyone else here has had problems with users who because of disputes on forum suddenly decide they want all their posts removed threatening legal action if you don't.

I've a current case (server in Germany), user in Canada who got into a heated debate on the forum and has done just this, they're accusing the admin of biased opinion and demand all posts be removed and claim to, actually I believe they have sough legal counsel.

Usually I wouldn't mind removing all their content as personally I think they really aren't a nice person and haven't really contributed anything worthy yet because of their tone and demands and general aggression I'm very tempted just to leave their content purely to bug them.

So would love to hear from anyone else who's had this sort of situation arise before.

Cheers
