I don't know who needs to hear this

But like, people are not likely going to be blogging trash about you and blocking you so you can't see. The block feature is so you don't have to interact with those you dislike, and if the mod team knows you're purposely abusing it they will talk to you. I know edgar has already spoken to people in the past about how they shouldn't blog about people after using the block feature on them. It's not a gotcha, it's a way to just have a little bit of peace without the negative energy.
