  Hi michaelaaerts!

  There are a few ways to deal with this.

  You can add a user to a comment blacklist under Settings > Discussion so that you won’t have to worry about them commenting on your blog.

  You can also moderate your comments so that certain ones never publish on your blog. Please check out the links below. It is fairly straightforward but if you need additional help, please feel free to ask!!!

  If someone is publishing things about you on a WordPress.com blog that you believe violates the Terms of Service, please fill out a report through the online form. The Terms of Service Team are more than happy to look over your complaint and take appropriate action if deemed necessary.

  I hope this helps!

  Have a wonderful day!
