If you block another user - do you block all their contacts as well?

Sorry - I asked this earlier, but had to delete it to protect an innocent user being named by a trouble making troll

I discovered yesterday, that another user whom I have never noticed before had me blocked. They emailed me and explained I was blocked because of a user I had in my contacts

This seems extreme to me - if you decided to block me, would you then block all my contacts too? What does that acheive?

Update:

I don't expect everyone to be my friend Snizz - but I am hoping to understand the reasoning behind this action

Don't know Happy Bee, they didn't say who

    As I said earlier it shows dedication to block everyone!!!

    Let it go Bunches, not everyone is going to be your friend!

    Hello Bunches-let me get this right-a bit convoluted lol

    The blocked user could be got at if you answered their question and the user in your contacts would see your answer to the blocked user and get at them!

    Does that make sense?

    It also beggers everyone up! and really does not achieve anything

    No I'm sure you don't block that person's contacts, Bunches.

    But as the answerer above said, why on earth did they not just block that user ... or maybe they don't quite know how it all works.

    No I wouldn't block all their contacts as well. That doesn't make sense and sounds like some people have been on here to long and need to go outside.

    Nah that's not right. If they blocked you,it maybe because they trawled through the persons account who they were going to block and blocked everyone in their contact list.

    was it me? :(

    If you block a user it is just them that are blocked not their contacts or fans, seems strange that they blocked you and not them!

    i wouldn't block someone's contacts

    i've noticed that one person i have blocked has other blocked users .....coincidence......or simillar attitudes and prejudices maybe

    one of these has over 120 contacts .... it seems he contacts to everyone .... why do that?

    Seems to be taking things too far to me, I don't see the point. If a troll wants to access you they can, it's easy if you're that way inclined.
