They're referring to the fact that the blocker prevents them from interacting with others.
I find it hard to believe that there are significant numbers of DUers that feel they are *owed* the attention of others. If blocking truly prevented the blocked poster from interacting with the blocker - and no more, claims of being blocked "unfairly" would be rare.
What feels unfair is a poster carrying out a discussion with several people in a thread and having the OP decide for all thread participants that that poster will no longer be heard from on that thread.
I guess the easing up of the rule about posting follow on threads helps this to some extent though.
