Virginia Property Owners Act, Title 55-510.2 (2001)states: the board of directors shall establish a reasonable evffective, and free method , appropriate to the size and nature of the association, for lot owners to communicate among themselves and with the board of directors regarding any matter concerning the association.
We currently offer a place at all board meetings (monthly) and general member meetings(twice yearly)for members to speak. We give board members names, email addresses, and phone numbers in all newsletters. All meetings are open. We provide addresses for all members to anyone requesting them.

One irate member wrote a letter critizing actions passed at the last meeting of members with everyone there in favor except this member. He wants us to mail his letter to all 84 owners at the expense of the board and has entered a suit in court because we refused.

Has anyone heard of any case like this?

Yes, he is a sore loser with a big ego. The courts should not consider frivilous suits.

I believe that he might be able to request a member list from the UM, but he's probably going to have to pay the UM for them to compile it; and the UM is certainly not going to do the mailing for him.
