comment blacklisting
http://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/discussion-settings/#comment-blacklistHowever, if you blacklist be aware that you could be affecting legitimate commenters as well. IP addresses have not been unique for nigh unto 15 years now. ISPs place hundreds of us in the same IP block. Moreover, using the blacklist is useless when people can get a new IP and/or new email address in no time flat.

Thanks timethief, I don’t want to turn my blog private. I believe everyone has the right to view anything and my blogs aren’t top secret. I just find it irritating that a person that was abusive on FB is following me. It’s like stalking and I want to stop only that person not the whole world.
