If you block someone from sending you messages, the block now applies to public messages.
The checking is a little more in-depth for public messages.
With private messages, the system only checks to see if the intended recipient has blocked the intended author.
With public messages, the system checks both the author's and recipient's filter list. If either has the other blocked, it won't allow the public message to be posted.
This means that if I have Matt blocked from sending me messages, he can't send them to me and I also can't send them to him.
