Depending on circumstance, I don’t like to block without saying the criticism behind it. If I’m then going to block, I prefer to announce to make it clear to the blockee that I won’t be replying, and to make it clear to everyone else why I haven’t replied, if the blockee chooses to reply. Works for me.
Protip - never announce your blocklist additions.
It looks pathetic. Block whoever you want, but keep it to yourself. Nobody cares.
