I respond several different ways. If there are no comments, I'll take a look at their profile but I rarely block anyone. I don't think I have any pics that are "friends only" anyway. I'm fairly transparent.If they have hundreds or thousands of friends, and that seems to be all they do, I decline and move on.It also depends on which of my media they visit and how often.I also decline the ones who are the cuties who have just joined hours ago who are trying to lure you to some other site.The more interesting profiles, I may ask them why they want to be friends. If they are just wanting to follow my posts , I'll sometimes accept them. If I don't get a response, decline, move on.Some may be visiting my profile to read my previous posts. That's okay with me, I hope I'm entertaining. I try to be when I get on a roll.After nearly 4 years here, I have barely 100 friends. I'm quite selective. It's either locals, those I like to follow for their posts and/or people I converse with.I just don't see the need to block people unless I've determined they are here for unsavory reasons.There was someone I friended a while back. We had some interesting conversations. I was being an open book, sharing some deeper perspectives than I typically do. They, on the other hand, were not reciprocating equally, almost uncomfortably so. So I just quit conversing and moved on.I just don't feel the need to "block" so quickly. What does it really accomplish anyway?It's like flies, they buzz around, you shoo them away. If they become pests, out comes the "block" swatter to end it permanently and be done!

I really see no need to block anyone. If I have, Im sorry. Or, if someone has blocked me, its ok but unnecessary. Ill never bother anyone.
Heres a good one:
So, a person blocked me. Then, a month or two later, this person sends a private message inviting me to hang out. Yes, Id like to hang, but no way to accept. :-)
