All,
Any suggestions short of a restraining order?
That was one of the most bizarre interactions I have ever had with anyone on the internet.
Thanks for your input, John

"If you would like me to block other Tor users from using my exits to contact your servers, please provide the list of IP(s) and I will do so. For any other requests, please feel free to serve papers to my lawyer", or if you don't have a lawyer, just cut the last few words out.
After that, don't respond to anything other than a specific list of IPs to block (and I'd sanity check them). Don't engage, don't encourage, don't try to assume they'll suddenly get not-stupid if you can just get them to understand why they're stupid, that's not how stupid works.
There's nothing to be gained from further debate or discussion, so why not let them get bored and go yell at a fast food worker or a poorly placed traffic sign or something instead of wasting more of your time?
Thanks, that's where I was going internally. I will take your advice, it was much needed.
