OK, there was a guy who responded on CL and I emailed him back once asking for a picture. I got it, wasn't attracted and had enough guys that I was attracted to so I blew him off. A few days later, he sent another email saying he was giving me a little "nudge" (I think he does eHarmony - that's their latest gimmick). I didn't respond to that thinking that was hint enough. Today he send ANOTHER email asking again for me to send him an email and a picture. So what, is it time for the "response and block"?

You're under no obligation to respond. If you're not interested just block him, if he didn't get the hint when you didn't respond the first or second time, it's doubtful he'll understand when you spell it out.
How about just the block? I wouldn't bother to respond.
I had an "ugh" myself this weekend...I've been emailing with a guy from mydate who lives in NYC but is supposedly moving to Seattle this spring. He called on Saturday to tell me he's coming here for a visit on Wednesday...I was on my way out but I said I'd call him later to set up a meet. But right before we get off the phone, he goes "describe yourself for me". I'm like, "excuse me?". He said something about his laptop being down so he couldn't see photos. I just said "well, I'm the redhead" but I was so turned off, I didn't call him. I mean, just how many women are you talking to, that you can't keep us straight???? Then yesterday I get a call from a unidentified number and answered it, thinking it was my CL guy (who did finally contact me again btw), but it was this guy from NYC. He's like, why didn't you call me back last night? I said, "I was not comfortable with our conversation last night, so I'm going to pass, good luck"...and hung up. ICK!!! Now I can't answer the phone unless the number shows up ;-).

That is creepy! I hate it when guys get like that requesting info on what you look like or are overly demanding for "more" pictures.
OK, he's blocked. I did a test to see what happens when you send an email from a blocked address. So far, it seems nothing. I blocked my main email address on my anonymous yahoo account. I'm a little disappointed. Not that I wanted it so send something back like "You're BLOCKED Loser so stop emailing!!" but it would be nice if it bounced back to them or something letting them know that the email was not accepted. The person can just email and email and never know that it's being blocked.
I'm of two minds about that. I think there's a plus to them not knowing, so they don't try making up another email address and continuing to email you if they are the obsessive type, for example. But there would be something satisfying about letting them know they were blocked, I agree ;-).
