Hope you can ban by IP range, dude...
Will that block the other accounts he posts from? I have a theory of at least 3 other posters being Fred in disguise.
Years ago, on the Unreal message boards, there was a guy (kid?) who went by the name Artie Shindleman. This guy WAS NOT happy unless he was getting banned. I don't know how many times he got banned, but it was a constant battle. Plus, the message board wasn't monitored on the weekends, so by Sunday night, he'd made the board a complete and utter mess.
Every newsgroup has one freak. Can't ban them there, just hope they go away. Or PLONK 'em. I frequented alt.comp.periphs.cdr for a while and witnessed a guy that had a real hard on for a certain tech support guy from Roxio. He spent all his time bad mouthing the guy, disecting every post to find some small falacy in it.
The guy from Roxio kept it professional. Even when he was fired from Roxio due to budget cuts he kept it professional.
I wish I could remember his name.
There was a guy on alt.games.half-life.tfc - billy something he was a pain as well.
Oh boy, I'm rambling... I'm gonna stop and go get a beer.
