I don't understand the passive aggressive nature of many of you posting. "We blocked the email. We blocked the phone number."

Why dont you CONFRONT these people first? Give and get closure. You aren't doing anyone any favors, including yourselves by AVOIDING. Negative people are everywhere. But it takes a real friend and a compassionate soul to calmly and firmly explain to someone that their negativity is not only hurting them, but you and your friendship.

No, they wont like it. Yes, they will be hurt and pissed. But someday, they may just respect you for it. You can then live your life knowing that you FACED your problems and did the right thing. If they still dont get the message, THEN you take measures to block someone.

Since like attracts like, maybe look in the mirrors and see how this person was even there. Its pretty "negative" to just cut a person out of your life and self centered to judge them as being "too negative for me." Grow some balls and BE THE CHANGE YOU WANT TO SEE IN THE WORLD. Otherwise, no one will understand how they are affecting others, IF NO ONE TELLS THEM. Wimps, seriously.
