I reported him to VSTF yesterday. Here's the email I got: I've taken a look at the IPs this vandal has been using, and unfortunately, it looks like they use such a wide range of ever-changing IPs that a range block isn't possible. Of those, I blocked the IPs he used more than once, but this is likely not very effective at preventing future sockpuppets.

I've also globally blocked a number of usernames that in themselves are terms of use violations.

The best and really only way to deal with a trouble user of this kind is to block their sockpuppet accounts as quickly as you can, deleting their insults and vandalisms as quickly as you can (do use the VSTF's help for this) and to completely ignore them otherwise. If no one reacts to their attacks, they see no one getting upset at them and are given no attention whatsoever, hopefully they'll eventually get bored of creating more sockpuppets to haunt you with. And see? The main rule is still "don't feed the trolls."
