  The person who I don’t want to follow it is “Dubstep_Kiing,” and I don’t want to have to deal with this in the future.

  The internet is a very public place. 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/

  I know that, but unless something got really messed up, my blog is currently private.

  Did you click in and read what’s in that article?

  I did. My blog has always been private (since I changed the setting as soon as I made it), and this person somehow managed to follow while it was private. Is it possible that it’s actually a person who I invited who just changed their username?

  That’s extremely odd. Maybe it is a username change situation. I’m flagging this thread for Staff attention.

  Oh, wait. They were following since the beginning when it was public (that was fast!) Problem solved!
