It's already been discussed - the problem is that we don't have the 
technology to delete individual diary entries at the moment.

Normally with diary spammers I would just delete the account but in this 
case he appears to be a genuine user who has been making edits to the 
map and has also been making some misguided diary entries so I'm 
reluctant to delete the account.

Note that all references to "delete" above refer to logical deletion 
where the item is marked as deleted and hence hidden rather than actual 
deletion of any data in the database.
