Angered the Borg, have we?

In any event, thanks for sharing this disturbing experience; it can't have been the easiest thing to do. I've certainly never had to block anyone, but my impression is of a very immature person. Where you see immaturity, treat it as such. Personally, I'd make one clear communication that x behavior is unwanted for y reason, and the consequences of its continuation will be z. There is no further need of communication after that; simply enforce the consequences you specified, be that blocking, reposts of abuse to site owners, ... or whatever one does.

I think you've handled yourself admirably, and had far more patience than I would have done.

Re: louisgray.com: Facebook Still Banning Aliases to Avoid Becoming Fakebook

Considering the dependence on advertising and so forth, I would say the decision to disallow the on screen alias is a mistake. Not only does that limit branding, but it also alienates people who prefer anonymity. Say, older generations of users who started using the internet when using one's real name was unusual, or ... Japan, as someone (Joi Ito) recently wrote (http://tinyurl.com/5z7o5f). These are not markets to be ignored, in my opinion.

Disclaimer: I've never even used Facebook, and I'm so new to social networking that I'm probably wrong, anyway.
