Well i don't think any stalker intension want to be mean in first place or is it?. Whatever, if u feel that person is stalking u, then its better idea to get rid of him/her..
hmm, that is a bit harsh, don't you think? I agree that no stalker ever thinks they are doing anything wrong or hurtful, but I have lots of patience before I get rid of friends

I agree with you that people should just say that they are busy. Unfortunately, not everybody is sensitive enough to 'get it'. So, the block feature might be vital in some cases.
Yes block feature is best option, especially when u had enough of that person and got nothing further do with him/her.
nope, in that case I'd just remove the person. I am very selective of who is on my messenger to begin with, so I don't think I'll get into that situation. Blocking is useful only for the people that don't understand busy signs lol.

And THAT is why I hate Instant Messengers and have hidden status on every board I use that allows it. Some people can't understand or won't accept that being online does not mean I'm always in the mood to have a conversation or that I might show up online but it doesn't mean I'm sitting at my computer. I may be flitting back and forth doing something else and merely have the window open.

and sometimes I will be available to talk to certain people and not others... no bad intent whatsoever, but if my best friend needs to talk, I'll be here - but I won't be having any conversations about the weather --- difficult concept for some
