    Actually, you can keep them as contacts and still not get emails. Just go to your profile, click 'edit my info', and find the place on that page where it says 'email me when my contacts ask questions'. UNCHECK that selection, click PREVIEW at the bottom of the page, then OK on the next page -- and you should stop getting the emails.

    delete the person from your contacts

    you only get those emails about answering questions from your contacts

    its better to delete them from contacts than it is for you to block them (blocking them, will really hurt their feeling)
