  Hi Sharon,

  Sorry, but we currently don’t offer the option to remove specific email addresses or users from your Follower list. As long as your site is publicly available on the web, there is no way to block specific people from seeing it. Even if someone is not following your blog, it does not ban them from your site or stop them from reading it. Note that there is no limit for how many people can follow your site.

  You may want to check out our privacy options for more information about limiting access to your site:

  If you’re being harassed or abused by a WordPress.com user, that is a different case and could you please report that here:

  Thank you very much, Alex….not being harassed or abused – just uncomfortable about what I suspect the motive is for choosing to follow because of interaction at another site.

  Your answer provides what I needed. Thanks and have a great day.
