Blocking users, could make it somehow easier, but creating new accounts (fire and forget) would not be that difficult and render the block function useless. We have it everyday with the spammers that annoy CP.
We (many users) have already come with different suggestions to address this topics and Chris have always spoke with us, but at the end of the day, with the pragmatism that define most of us, the topics were rejected with really good argumentations by the Staff, mostly within the comparison work-benefit and keeping the site relatively user friendly for people looking for help.
You would say, people coming here are techies and shouldn't have any problem with such "steps". The easiest answer to that is: Go to the Q&A and see it by yourself

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

To me, there is a big difference between being "stalked", "harassed", ... and having reactions to a publicly made statement. The statement / posting is a public thing. The person making it public cannot deny others the right to have reactions to it, and cannot deny those reactions to be made similarly public. Leaving a person alone does not imply that you must be totally silent about that person's public statements.

If only public posts are done... yes, you are right.
On the other hand, it still is one's decission to continue doing something that is not desired and has been (hopefully) asked politely

Notice he continues to stalk. He's reading my messages still and replying to you now, defending stalking behavior. He already has two accounts I've seen, so yeah it wouldn't "stop" a techie, but it would send a message and make it obvious that he a techie did create several accounts that he clearly needs his account removed (articles and all). However, that's also the crux of the situation why CP will never do that... articles. Still remains though, this guy needs to go away.

It has been suggested that "replies to replies are generally passed through but direct ones are blocked". One problem is to stay in step. It could lead only the censor getting through, telling someone to get away, shut up, or whatever, and you don't know who the censor is yelling at.
Or possibly that poster presenting an undesired counter argument is the one passed through, with then 'Censor him!' cries being blocked.
When a thread spreads in multiple levels, there is a problem of defining the base for "direct replies" to be blocked and "replies to replies" being let through. Also, to make "replies to replies", the first reply must be available, and how can it be if it is blocked?
So I do not have any confidence in this solution.

Maybe, that happens on occasion. I must have been distracted by having to translate it.
