The "dedicated" bit made me think this is
probably a static address and
thus maybe some information could be found on its owner, so I googled
it. It looks like a system at this address is serving as an exit node
for an anonymizing network. This makes it virtually certain he'll be
able to easily show up again with an entirely different IP coming from
an entirely different ISP. It also makes it virtually impossible to say
for certain whether it's anyone we know at this point.
Definitely troll, then. When the database is read-write, the address should
be blocked as an {{OpenProxy}} (Tor, to be specific).
