Yes. They can see the question but they can’t answer it. There is no way to make yourself invisible but privatization helps.

They can still see the Question but they cant Answer the Question or be able to Comment on your Answers
They can still Comment on other people's Answers on your Question tho
.
Yes, they can't post an answer it with the account you blocked, but they can see it. You can't prevent anyone from seeing your posts, but if your YA activity is private, they can't (easily) see your past YA activity unless they run across your posts while scrolling through a subcategory you posted in.

There is no invisibility feature on Yahoo Answers. Blocking someone won't stop them from being able to see your posts.

Yup. But they can't reply. And they have no idea they can't reply until they type in their (hopefully long) answer, and they yahoo rejects it. It's actually quite amusing.
However, they Can attach a comment to someone else's answer.

@ Joe: I like the anonymous feature because you can't block a blue-face, and people have to judge you by your answer and not by your reputation or past encounters with you. And if they hate you, they may report any question from the indentifiable - you, even if it's a valid question.
However...
if you post under your own "name," they can still see the question. If they don't know you've blocked them, they may try to answer, but yahoo will refuse to post it.
This all sounds like a childish game; but yahoo - like the rest of society - has turnt stoopid, and there's probably no turning back.
