* How about immediate IP blocks on Pieter Kuiper wherever and whenever he pops up. If they're short, then they're not affecting other ISP users – look at the contribs history: whatever the DHCP server is doing, it's not sharing PK's IP address with other editors in any overlapping timeframe that is causing a problem, at least not one that is evident from previous history. Maybe he's sharing ISP with other innocent users, but there's no indication that he's sharing IP addresses with them at any problem level.

: In the worst case, PK will then begin to reset his IP connection as fast as he's blocked and will morph IP. So we block again, and again – this is the price of it (although the blocks can then become short). If he does morph fast enough to cause trouble for his ISP's customers, then that's an issue where an ISP customer is deliberately causing disruption for other customers, something that they're perfectly capable of then resolving for themselves.
