It's a not a good idea to speak to opposing counsel yourself. If you think the legal threat is baseless, send a brief polite email to that effect, and ignore everything afterwards. If you think they have a claim, talk to a lawyer. And have a plan for who to call if you get served.
This is the approach I've used on the Bedbug Registry for about three years. We get about two intimidating letters a month from some fairly large hotel chains.
Making legal threats directly to an attorney is about as good an idea as the lawyer threatening that he will hack your server. Resist the temptation to get in over your head.
