people basically don't have static ips unless they pay extra for them. those kind of people are few and far between. some isps are really slack on how often they change them, though.

This is true. But I have a (bad) habit of referring to those that rarely change as static.
Mine has been the same for a very long time, and I don't pay extra or anything like that.

the odds of affecting an innocent cable/dsl user by doing an ip ban is basically slim to none though.

I've always agreed with this, but Chuck has voiced some concerns about it.

if the dude's truly nuts this might draw his ire and cause him to dial in or post through a proxy or whatever. pretty much can't stop somebody from expressing something here if they want to.

Yeah, but I think the IP ban is worth trying. I'm glad Mat did it.
