I have been blocking ppl on twatter quite abruptly & mercilessly for a long time now - but rarely visit now anyway. Free speech is 'dangerous'. The attack on it is assisted by good hearted (but misguided I believe) people who actively promote PC speak, and later are in wonderment that real conversation is disappearing! The troll professionals can easily poke the sleepers with sticks, pretending to be one thing or another. Oh, my! We are yet some way from a stabilised situation.
I generally block people for being abusive or obvious trolling. If they are actually making a point, I may disagree, but I don't block them. If someone keeps posting the same crap over and over, or constant "Oy vey, goy", I don't come here for that. It's imature and not productive.

There are troll farms who try to discredit free speech sites. I have never blocked people before, but I do now.
