Vince, try not to leave this sort of antagonising response to trolls/vandals. It doesn't really help anything; if anything, it's the kind of attention they want.

Blocking the account (which you can do as an admin - Stezie got this one) delivers the same 'you suck, go away' message but also makes it clear that you won't stand for stuff. I'd also guess that it being a less public thing plays into this stuff too (lessening the satisfaction the troll gets, perhaps), but I don't know much about psychology and shit.
