He's pretty smart; he'd be able to put 2 and 2 together and figure out I blacklisted him, and he really doesn't seem like the type who would take too well to that.
We really aren't concerned with how he feels about the matter. If he's making you uncomfortable, and harassing you, then that's that. He's crossed a line, especially if you have made it clear you don't like it. Don't let yourself get caught in thinking you owe him anything; he's some person on the internet that makes you uncomfortable. Drop him like a bad habit.
Blacklisting will make it so that you can't see /tells from him or things that he says. It won't prevent him from running up and finding you in game, however, FFXIV is pretty big, and even if he can find out what area you are in, it'd be pretty difficult to track you down. That being said, and this goes for both FFXI and FFXIV, report his ass if he does that, and a GM will make it clear to him.
/blacklist him before you call a GM, as well. That will always be their first suggestion for harassment. If he finds a way to persist and harass you regardless of that, then take it to the GM.
Square-Enix wants their game to be a place where people can relax and have fun and enjoy themselves. They don't want it to be a place of cyber bullying, and they will take measures to ensure that stuff doesn't happen. Consider this too; if he's doing it to you, he might be doing it to others, so taking a stand may cause him to learn the error of his ways and second guess himself before harassing someone else. But the bottom line is, don't deal with his crap.
