Why bother blocking? The entries are gone.
Huh? Blocking doesn't delete entries already made, it prevents future entries. The guy could be a vandal in the middle of pasting junk. Blocking the IP prevents him from pasting any more junk.
Why bother? The IP could belong to more people, now or in the future. The guy could decide to make valid contributions. Or most like, the guy will stop adding detritus now that it's evident it'll just be erased.
Path of least harm.
