There isn't actually a threat there as I read it, if you cared.

I wouldn't call it an insult either, honestly. It's put a lot more bluntly than I would have, but I don't think there's anything there that's not basically true.

People don't need courts to say "Person X is doing a ****ty, unethical thing, and if they don't attempt to redress it, they're an unethical person." The law has a great and important place in our society, but, as they say, you cannot legislate morality, and we shouldn't depend on it for our value judgements.

The example in question lacks tact, but I don't think it's out of line to suggest that an unrepentantly unethical person might do other unethical things.
