Can you block one person w/o making profile private? (like Facebook does)
Is it possible to block one person from seeing your updates without having to make your profile private?
To get the most out of Twitter you should make your profile public, but what if you just want one single person to not be able to see your updates? There should be an option to block that one user, like Facebook has.

Inappropriate?Not really. You can block them from following you, but you can't prevent them from going to your twitter page and seeing it. As long as your account is public, anybody (whether they are logged in as twitter users or not) can see all of your tweets.
The best way around this, other than making your account private, is to use a twitter username that doesn't give your real name, and then don't let this one person find out about it.
Admittedly you would need your friends' help to keep the secret; and this still won't work if the person knows who your friends are (by looking at the list of people you follow now) - s/he can just look at their follows and figure it out.
