If it is possible, would you recommend against it? Or is there some other way to get rid of the member?

Lol, use Miserable Users. It's the best.

You could also ban the IP in your .htaccess file, I used to do that a lot with this one particular user. Anyways if you ban the IP in your .htaccess, the user knows you're out to get them; with Miserable Users it looks on their end that your server is just busy. Very very busy. With that user I mentioned, the more I actually banned him, the more hostile he got; but Miserable Users is a more passive approach. He didn't realise I was actually still keeping him off of the forum, so he cooled off, thinking *I* was the one stuck with a crappy server.
