none of the above-mentioned actions are unethical. repeated hit and runs from an online regular is in my book. i've always thought of poker as a gentlemen's game, and it's people like this that ruin it for the rest of us.

Dave,
Ethical lines are always blurred but they have become increasingly blurred with regards to standard B&M rules applied to online games.
For example, in B&M play it is unethical to request to see a mucked showdown hand merely for informational purposes. Are you trying to tell me that you've never once in your life looked in the hand history box just to see what you opponent mucked while playing online? If you have, are you any better than the guy you're critisizing in your OP?
Similarly, in B%M play ratholing has always been unethical. But theres no practical way to stop it online so its almost become acceptable. Moreover, with so many tables available on so many sites it has become a rather moot point to even try to enforce it. Of course this is all debateable, and I won't claim that my view is any more true than yours.
Bottom line, is that the guy probably isn't as good as you. Just take his money in the long run and stop complaining.
