Users could spam each other with friend requests, which could get quite annoying. Being able to block a user from sending a friend request to you, after the initial one would be a nice feature to have.
I envision that the best way to achieve this would be to allow the offending party to still create a friend request but to hide this from the block creator. Preventing the creator of the block from accepting this request while the block is in place would probably be best from an API point of view.
This has the benefit of preventing the offending user from knowing that they are blocked by the user.
