I'm not going to do all that just to add a useless feature that I won't even use. What's the need to block people on here? Unless someone is a stalker or is a threat to you or your privacy then the block function might be useful, but with anything else the mods are here to protect you from bullying, and if you keep getting attacked then stop posting in the PPR (if that's where you get the problems with other members, which usually it is). I've been here for 10 years, I've run into some unpleasantness with other members but the mods have always sorted it and here I still am today. But if people are going to start blocking each other (for petty reasons like because of which political party you support), then threads are going to get posted in less and less.
I block people here who are clearly trying to provoke me and start something with me. Making senseless posts at me is a clue or making posts that are not related to what I said or like to throw wild accusations at me because they do not like my perspective.
I had a racist account here blocked but decided to unblock it because I like seeing members roast that account. The mod team has already been informed of that account.
And sometimes reporting other members here are useless because while they may tell that user to stop responding to you, they are back to doing it again days later to hence the block feature. Mods cannot read members minds so if they can't see any bullying or rules being broken, they can't take action but tell you both to stop talking to each other.
