Blocking To Prevent A Message From Being Read..

Hi, Question phrased in the form of a scenario: Let's say a message (not a wall post) was sent to someone through facebook..then it was determined it was a really bad idea that this message was sent.  If the sender blocks the recipient from viewing or accessing their account, will the message also be rendered inaccessible?

If you have been removed from the other persons 'Friends' list, the message won't be delivered.  Another way they can block your message is :  - Go to ''Account'' (Top Right Corner)
- Then go down the list to ''Privacy Settings''
- Click on it.
- At the very top it says ''Connecting on Facebook''
- Click on ''View Settings''
- Then go to ''Send you Messages''
- Click the settings where you want it to be, and how you share.
Hope that helped at all!
Now if you want to block a person in general, here are the steps to follow:
- Go to ''Account'' (Top Right Corner)
- Then go down the list to ''Privacy Settings''
- Click on it.
- At the very bottom it says ''Block Lists''
- Click on ''Edit your Lists''
- Type in their e-mail or name in one of the boxes.
- Then click ''Block User''
If they have done any of the above procedures, your message will not have been received.
