1) It doesn't do any good to ban people on info provided by a commenter. All they have to do is use an alternate e-mail/website addres or lie about theirs, and the banning is rendered useless.
2) We don't provide the ability to contact a logged in commenter via e-mail when they comment on your journal. If they've got an e-mail address or if they've turned on private message, you can hit them direct, but if they don't you're stuck with commenting publicly.
Your e-mail address is your own personal information, and we generally don't require anyone to share personal information with other users in order to use the service.
