It was entire ISPs that were banned; not a particularly ideal situation to block just one user..

Some nets banned all of AOL for a time,

This happened to me. (Yes, I once used AOL. Ugh.) I once tried to get onto a site (several decades ago), but could not. The operators were emailed, and the response was something along the lines of "Sorry, it's not personal, but we had to ban all of AOL."

Ugh. I currently use Verizon 3G, which has one IP for the whole region; somehow, this managed to get into a blacklist, and I was banned from reading any blogs, Wikipedia, virtually the whole Internet. I couldn't even use Google. I eventually settled on tunneling everything thru another machine which at least has its own IP..

Things to keep in mind when doing any kind of IP-ban lol..
