I'm not making an absolute statement. Sometimes just a little talking out solves the misunderstandings. An innocent naive comment might appear to be something else. No mens rea. No animus nocendi. No criminal intent.By not being able to provide insight into the "accused"'s state of mind, the block prevents a simple civil discussion that might clear everything up.
There are other cases, of course, where animus nocendi is blatant.
