Great, now you've got me waiting for the other shoe to drop.

Bad DM Advice Guy said:but because we all know it's cheesy.
You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
Who's this "We"? Because most of us who know the rules know that you can - it just isn't very effective (it doesn't get a proficiency bonus to hit).
He should MC as a Barbarian, take the "Improvised Missile" feat, Belt of the Brawler, and Giantkind Gloves, then forever after walk into every combat without a single weapon on him.
If this incident breaks his immersion, then let me be the first to say that 4E may not be for him. He's got a lot ruder surprises in store, shortly. Though, if his immersion is broken this easily, then D&D is probably not for him.
To Mark something you at least have to appear a threat in my opinion,
That is your opinion, but that opinion is not necessarily supported by the game. Appearing to be the biggest threat isn't a prerequisite for marking an enemy.
Marks can be achieved through distraction, annoyance, magical compulsion, and any number of other tactics that have nothing to do with how much of a threat the enemy sees you as.
Can we please stop doing stuff like this? Defining the game for other people in clear opposition to its actual rules? That's what got the jerk player who is the subject of this thread into this mess in the first place.
