You should have told him to get hosed.

I had some clown causing problems on my Ke Nalu site, bitching about my lack
of attention. This for a site that carries no advertising, that I do for fun.
I blocked him from the site, then he started sending me email bitching at me.
So I added his email address to my spam filter. So then he set up some gmail
addresses and bitched at me. So I subscribed him to about 500 email
newsletters.

I felt he just had too much time on his hands.

go to manage your settings and an "unsubscribe" link.  I had someone get pissy
about my delay in sending out results and leave the league.  At the beginning
of the next year he was very vocal about "please remove me from the list".  I
took care of it manually, but he could have done it himself for half of the
effort of sending me and the entire list the nastygram.  And this is for a
closed friend-referral group.
