The problem with trying to block a

specific person's IP address

is,

they can access your site from various computers (and thus various IP

addresses).

For example: At home their internet connection may be made through

AOL or one Internet provider, but at their work, or library, or school their internet

connection might be through a different provider and thus a different IP

address.

So, even if you knew their IP address from one computer... they could just

use a different computer/Internet service to "see" your website.
