scary emails from long distance "friend"

i am concerned about emails and text messages that i have been receiving from someone i know. when i was in high school, i went on a few dates and had a friendship with this one guy named wil. he always liked me more and i never wanted a relationship, which i eventually made clear. although we argued a lot, we remained friends throughout college. i thought he was over me, but he could never deal with me talking about other guys. because of this, he stopped talking to me for a few years. recently, (about 6 months ago), we started talking on instant messenger, and i thought this was good bc i figured he was over me- especially because he has a girlfriend. about 3 months ago, i stopped using instant messenger as much and he asked if he could call. we started talking on the phone and i got a littl uncomfortable with the frequency of him calling (got to be every day/ every other day). one night he asked what i told others about us in high school (8 years ago?) and i told him i didnt feel comfortable telling him this. he got really upset, and said he had a right to know, and started sending me text messages saying 'U R A SELFISH BITCH'. he then sent an insulting email ending with 'i really f*cking hate you now". he also tried to leave a message for me on an online message board that said the same thing. that was six weeks ago. just four days ago, i got another text message saying the same thing- 'u r a selfish bitch', and i have gotten one every day for the past four days. he lives in florida now and i'm in virginia, but my question is whether or not i have a right to be concerned, and if so, what if anything can be done? what should i do? i tried to block his number from my cell but my cell co. said it's not possible. any advice? thanks,

Basically you have to ignore him completely and hope he gives up soon.
The web-police might be able to help put a stop to it, in the mean time, keep all his emails, phone calls (exact time, date), and any other ways he tries to make contact with you. Ask them for any other ideas about how to stop this guy.
