Can you block an abusive poster?

Is there a way to block people on mumsnet? A person started swearing at me for my honest opinions and experience of a medical condition while growing up, and they have no intelligent other conversation either. Just dumb swear words.
I'm worried they might stalk me on other threads.
If I can't block them then don't think I will bother posting for a while, but then that's probably what they're trying to do, to bully me off here.

Thank you, I will report the post. I feel they might be stalking me, as didn't like my opinion on a political page, and now following me onto more personal issues, as their swearing seems a bit extreme on the personal issues.
Or maybe it's just a coincidence.
I only really started posting yesterday and everybody seemed nice and normal until the one who started swearing at me today, which seemed like an extreme reaction.

Report their posts as "personal attacks."

You cant block a peron , also they could name change so it wouldnt work , report them to mnhq everytime they are nasty to you and dont engage with them on the thread at all .

If they're consistently bullying or abusive MNHQ will ban them so do please report it.

No you can’t block one poster.

But can report the posts and also Change your name.
