can't we all just get over it and be a bit honest about it all and have

"If you dare try and abuse me I'll let my attack lawyers loose all over
  your sorry arse"

or

"bite me and I will bite back"

In all honesty disclaimers attached at the bottom of the email
which you are not forced to read and agree before reading the content
seems like an very inefficient manner to enforce a contract...
