I assume s/he has stopped -- but I still appreciate all the input as I imagine something like this will happen in the future, and know I will be better prepared to know how to handle it.  Thanks,

Well, you don't, it just won't do any good to ban a user number from AOL since it will change every time they log on. It will soon become obvious since he'll be back on with a slightly different number right away, So then go ahead and lift that first ban so you are not banning AOL or other big isp users at random. BTW is this guy still messing around? If he has quit by now that might as well be the end of it.

Thanks -- but how do I know (from the identifying user number) whether it is an AOL address? Sorry if this is an obvious question,

Adding "my ass-crack will suffer the consequences of the bong-hole!" to an article on the French Revolution is well beyond the limits of any doubt. The only thing that might hold back a ban is if that is the address of AOL, MSN or some similar large isp.
