Hoi, It may be disproportional, but the disruption of this vandal is also disproportional to the benefit we get from AOL. There is no other method available to prevent this sorry sod somewhat. It would help if we could put some bumbs on the road making vandalism less easy. It would also help if we could go to the police.
Thanks, GerardM

Seeing as the user comes from AOL, I can't help but agree.
Unless AOL changed it policy recently, I think him being from AOL is a good reason NOT to give a site-wide ban. AOL uses, or at least used to use, variable IP-numbers. Any blocking would thus block other AOL users just as likely as the perpetrator himself. And to block all of AOL for this seems widely disproportional to me..
