How can I report someone for abuse on messenger?

I am being verbally abused by someone on Yahoo messenger. Other than putting them on ignore can I report them? They decided to give me abuse because I said I was not interested in engaging in indecent things with them on the internet. They said I better change my id because they will harrass me online forever. I have done nothing wrong and I feel I sould not be threatened in this way.

Update:

I have put them on ignore but they keep contacting me using other ids. I can tell its the same person by the words they are using. It is frustrating as I am being harrassed every time I log on.

    There are really 2 options, lock them out or just ignore and delete. He will get tired of it, he is a lot of mouth; Doesn't sound like someone you should keep in contact with on line; or would want to keep such an idiot as he is;;;;

    Come on now what do you really think will happen with this. They have the ignor option so you don't have to deal with him. I don't think anyone is going to do anything because there was no actual act committed other then using words that you don't have to see by putting him on ignore. Do you seriously think they will give him a fine or lock him up?
