Note that you have complete control comment moderation. http://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/discussion-settings/#comment-moderation If your blog is public others can, of course, read it. They can submit comments but you can Moderate all comments and choose which ones to approve or not.

For trolls, you can “blacklist” them at Settings > Discussion toward the bottom of that page. Enter their email address, their username, and if they included it, their website. That will automatically send them to moderation so that their comments do not appear on the blog. Do note though that if they are determined, they can use a different email address or username to get around that. Also, do not put their IP address in the blacklist. IP addresses are no longer unique, and you might end up blocking legitimate visitors. Also, all they would have to do is go to a wi-fi hot spot, or connect via a different ISP and they could get around that.

http://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/discussion-settings/#comment-blacklist

One other thing I would suggest is to set your blog so that first time commenters are held in moderation till approved, then from that point forward they will not need approval. Settings > Discussion. The next step on that of course is to set it so that all comments are held in moderation until approved. That way you are in control, and they might just get tired and go elsewhere after a while.

You cannot delete nor remove a follower on a public blog. They could just use a different blog or username anyway, and start following you again. Your only option is a private blog.

If she's reading from the WordPress.com Reader, she can edit the list of blogs she's following on the "Edit List" that appears at the top of the Reader.

Lastly, she can simply go to your site while logged in on WordPress.com and click the Following button in the Admin Bar, which will change to "Unfollow" when she passes her cursor over it.

Comment Blacklist > Settings > Discussion you have the ability to comment blacklist. This will send all comments from that individual directly into your spam queue. As ISPs are placing hundreds of users in the same IP block one can end up sending hundreds of legitimate potential readers/commenters to your blog’s spam queue rather than just one. Also note that many have dynamic (ever-changing) IPs, and anyone who is determined to can get a new IP and/or email address and /or user identity very easily.

I suggest is to set your blog so that first time commenters are held in moderation till approved, then from that point forward they will not need approval. Settings > Discussion. The next step on that of course is to set it so that all comments are held in moderation until approved. That way you are in control, and they might just get tired and go elsewhere after a while.

Go to his blog and on your admin bar you'll see his blog name. Hover and you get a drop down which includes Report As Spam. Use it, including your belief that he is spamming you with Likes just to get clicks to his blog.

THEN under that same drop-down, report his blog as Mature.
