Please Help Me: How do I deal with this bully?

[millerad]

I also posted this on r/entrepreneur but I wanted to get the fastlane perspective on it as well.

We are working on bringing a new App to the Food Truck scene. Lately, we have been dealing with one of the local Food Truck Event organizers trying to bully us. Here is his last email to me:
Imgur: The most awesome images on the Internet
What should I do about this, I have half a mind to take his email and post it across Food Truck forums and let Food Trucks see how terrible of a person He has been.

What do you think I should do?
