It's actually very effective if you consider that blocking is dependent upon the settings for a particular user. If you could block other users, including guests, from seeing a particular person's posts, we'd have real problems as one user could effectively ban another.The one real caveat to the system is a user's inability to block Moderators and Administrators.

Sometimes I block people for what seems particularly hateful speech towards a particular group, often women.
Some posts have made me feel violated.

Really? I can't recall any discussions meeting that criteria, although I don't read every post. Did you report those posts?
