Blocking someone/anyone from "Liking" a post

    There is someone who keeps “Liking” my post and I cannot get them to stop.

    Now the posts in question are about my dog having cancer. I’ve emailed this person explaining how I feel when I receive a notice that someone “Likes” a post about my taking about my dog dying.

    I’ve removed what I see as the only switch to turn of the “Like” button, and it is no longer visible to me when I view my blog.

    However, today, I published an RIP post stating my dog was euthanized today, and once again I get a noticed saying that this creep “LIKED” the post.

    How the hell could someone bring themselves to “Like” a post stating someones dog is dead?

    Is there anyway to stop this? This person is sick!

    I can post this persons email address if the support people want it.

    Thanks,

    Divinity’s Dad

    I’m sorry but we cannot delete the individual likes others leave on our posts even those that are from obvious like button spammers. All we can do is what’s here.
