If we have a friend's list, can't we have a blocked/not friends list? You can block someone but it sends a "you have been blocked by X". It doesn't even have to be viewable by everyone except the blocked and the blockee; totally separate from the "ignore" feature.

Ignore only affects the person ignoring; but blocked gives someone else control over my behavior (I'm not allowed to post/express myself, they can express themselves by blocking me but I cannot express myself, even if that person is ignoring/can't see my post anyway). If I get 5 friends to block you, is that not bullying? If I'm having a bad day and suddenly I'm blocked by people, without even knowing they have blocked me (even knowing, too, but I'm trying to be helpful), how is that different from a bunch of school kids cyber bullying a classmate?

Think about it; a lot of people might not like this post and let me know; not personally, by telling me to my "face" where I can reassure them that's okay, I understand, I bear no ill will, or, that that hurts me; but by blocking me.
