  Is there a way to block a follower?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  I also wonder about the etiquette of this sort of thing.
  I know that a large proportion of people who respond to a wordpress blog are other wordpress bloggers randomly trolling for followers–and I can stick that if I must,
  but sometimes I don’t like what those blogs represent—
  –And finally here is one which seems vaguely pronographic and otherwise purposeless (sometimes they do seem to consist of nothing more than a gravatar)—
  -And I don’t want to be associated with it [http://en.gravatar.com/colombiancuties]
  So what shall I do, do you think?

  No, it is not possible to block a follower.

  Report it to Gravatar. It’s spam.

  Well, not exactly spam—The notification comes from wordpress.com, with all the congratulations, etc.

  But thank you. —How?
