It's hardly blackmail, since blackmail involves a negative effect on the victim(s). I suggest that wording is less of an issue and it's more of the intent. You can always used negative language to convey your hatred/dislike of someone without the need to use profanities - and at the end of the day, it's what flaming is. Constant negative language towards one or more parties. It is verbal assault and anywhere else in the world (except public gaming forums??) there are repercussions.
May I point out that at this stage, there are no language filters for bnet. Although, it is proliferated by underage people, so it's quite a strange absence. So in this respect, I would recommend that you use the command /squelch ingame to ignore people who are abusive.
