Hi Cw,
Can you simply “Unfriend” him instead of block? This is what I did with FaceBook: Instead of blocking, which can be seen as very immature and reactionary, I wrote a note saying, “I’m taking a break from Social Media. See you in (insert month/year)!” Then I locked down my settings so he couldn’t see how many Friends I had, what I posted, if I posted, etc. I changed my settings dramatically enough so it really looked like I was out of commission.
Then guess what? He DID somehow find a way to contact me. It wasn’t easy. There was effort, true effort (on his part) involved. Then I took several weeks to reply.
Change the script. You can close the door but not lock it. Close the door. And let him go through the butler.
Good Luck!
