  You can’t block anyone from following your blog here if it’s public. What you can do is get a restraining order against him and then if he does read your blog he can go to jail.

  That’s a correct answer to your question. We cannot block or delete subscribers from public blogs. However, please read this about public blogs that become private blogs > Blog Privacy and Subscribers > http://wpcommaven.wordpress.com/2011/09/05/blog-privacy-and-subscribers/

  Note that you have complete control comment moderation. http://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/discussion-settings/#comment-moderation

  Also note there is no upgrade you can purchase that changes what I stated above.
