Open one of his PMs, at the top of the PM you'll find a button that says "Block this sender" - click on that. It will take you to your ignore list page where you'll see two choices: "Block Mail" or "Full Ignore". If you just want to block his PMs, choose the first one. "Full Ignore" means you won't see any of his posts in any threads at all.

Personally, I never use "Full Ignore", because I still want to be able to see whatever stupid shit someone is posting on the board, but I've used "Block Mail" on several people who have sent me unsolicitated private messages, with whom I have no interest in engaging. It's a wonderful feature!
