Ha! It's just very strange, because spammers aren't usually also real commenters. And because the IP address traces back to Bahrain. ?? It could just be a very strange coincidence, I suppose.
Most likely he was using a proxy to hide his real IP, and the spammer is using the same one. I'd google the IP to find out if it's a known public proxy spam IP.
Sad! He seemed nice...

Right, or his address just went back into the pool of available dynamic ips, but still, a weird coincidence.
