Curiously enough, the same thing was said about spam 30-ish years ago.
The "ignore it and maybe it will go away" approach did not yield
satisfactory results.
These "disclaimers" are stupid and abusive. They have no place in
*any* email traffic, and most certainly not in a professional forum.
And it is unreasonable to expect the recipients of the demands and
threats they embody to silently tolerate them ad infinitum.
