Frankly, he was making an idle threat. We've banned the IPs that look to be coming from his house but that's all we can do. Even that isn't a big deal because posting through a proxy is trivial.

This is correct, although I'd argue it wasn't a completely idle threat. Having some of your regular IPs banned can be a nuisance, even if it isn't an impermeable barrier. I figured I'd give him a heads up in advance in case he felt like avoiding that. He didn't, so we banned the IPs he was using at the time.

That...was me.

Do we have to create a Trolling 101 thread?

Shockingly, I am not as familiar with trolling messageboards as, say, you.

Yes, people often post from more than one IP.
