Thanks for the suggestions. Can anyone confirm that users can only leave a single review and newer ones will replace the old ones? If so then he must be using multiple accounts - though all the comments show up with the same name.
I only have an ADP1 phone, so I can't mark anything as spam or even see my own apps on the market (I use Cyrket to view the reviews). In the end I went ahead and implemented the change that this guy wanted - in the hope that he would disappear. Now he's sending me more emails, but I'm too pissed off to even read them. I'm guessing it's just a matter of time before the one star reviews start up again. It's a frustrating situation.
