Lady:
Unless something has changed, there is a programming (or at least logic) glitch in the system.
The way it is presently, anytime you BLOCK ANYONE, it automatically turns IGNORES on for EVERYONE. Completely ridiculous, of course, and I'm sure it will eventually get fixed.
So, whenever you block someone anew, you have to remember to go back to your ignores and turn them off.
Clearly, blocking someone should have nothing to do with ignoring someone, much less everyone (or at least those you have listed as ignored).
This has been brought up many times on this board. The two features are totally different and should be independent of each other. Else, there will be the inevitable confusion you have as sure as the sun sets in the west.
