So it works to an extent. But you're right, Kyla, nothing is going to be foolproof when someone desperately wants to get on there. I blocked a rude commenter with WP-Ban before, and stats showed he tried to come back twice. Most Mean People, I hope, will get the point.

It was terrifying. The thing that those blocking apps don't tell you is that they flat out don't work. If a Mean Person has any tech savvy they can use a website that re-routes their IP address so they can always see your site. In the future if my guy finds me again, I'm going to stand my ground and stay where I am. And if he escalates again, I'm going to call the police in my city and in his. It's really important that we keep in mind that really anyone can find our blogs, and that we have to write with that in mind. .-= Kyla Roma´s last blog ..<a href="http://www.kylaroma.com/2009/07/road-trip/" rel="nofollow">Road Trip!</a> =-.

I wrote a post about it and talked to those people directly through email. Eventually I stopped reading their blogs because I found them to be too negative. That was on blogger. Now that I just switched to WP I haven't had any problems with Mean People. Hopefully, it will stay that way for a while. I had a few comments I didn’t agree with on my last blog.
