Or, if the address is a VPN provider end point, then it will mean your system can not be reached by many many people. Just remember this when you block an IP, as six months from now you may be chasing some other connectivity issue caused by the block, or the next one, and so on... Some simple checks before doing this might involve a reverse domain lookup on the address or a GeoIP on the address. Finally, simply remember that you did it, and maybe consider always removing bans after a certain amount of time: 3-6 months, perhaps, hopefully after the idiot harassing your server has moved on to doing something else...
