  yes you can. go to dashboard, select options, under it select discussion, scroll down a little to locate the ‘comment blacklist’ and edit from there.

  That doesn’t block someone from viewieng the site all together though I don’t think. That only sends comments from that IP into moderation.

  As we’re all on a multiuser environment blocking someone from viewing your site would also block them from viewind other wp.com sites.

  If you don’t want someone viewing your site, this might help you:
