I dont see blocking doing much good there as there is no such thing as being able to stop your public posts being viewed, because they're public.

My thoughts as well. Someone dedicated to harassing you isn't going to give up when they get blocked. They'll just make another account and do it again, but now with the knowledge of what gets under your skin.
