Charles, I take your point ;-) But SB hasn't used his site to target you-know-who (YKW) at all that I've seen. In fact, if pages appeared that mentioned YKW in an absurd or negative light, they were promptly removed. The flavor was of general disinterest and shrug. This feels different.

Have you ever been subjected to legal bluster? IME all responses have to be calm and rational. You provide no grounds for further complaint and distraction. Sometimes it makes sense to agree to their demands, especially if it costs very little and/or can be done in a fashion that doesn't reward the complainant. Example: assuming the archives are pdf or some format that makes it difficult to simply remove articles, I'd be inclined to offer a large purple box over any or all articles requested by this author. With an un-emotive footnote saying that FoxRockx policy is to eradicate archived articles if requested by their author for whatever reason. Game over.
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us.
"
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
