This is the Mid-Atlantic Forum. I haven't heard of them either, but I can't find them on the web at all. You may try posting in another forum that relates to Michigan a little better.
When you block a person, they can no longer invite you to a private message or post to your profile wall. Replies and comments they make will be collapsed/hidden by default. Finally, you'll never receive email notifications about content they create or likes they designate for your content.
Note: if you proceed, you will no longer be following .
