The point is that you said you needed a block to prevent the impact of
an unwanted caller on your receiver. You just made that up.
The program was designed to require you to actually be an operator,
which is why you have to enable each QSO instead of it being fully
robotic. "Call 1st" is merely a crutch for those of us who may not have
the reflexes to select a new caller within the first 2 seconds of the
next frame. I sincerely doubt its primary purpose was to remove all
thought process from making QSOs.
In order to achieve such significant weak signal performance certain
rigid operating constraints are inherently necessary. The requirement
for locked time windows, predetermined message format, and fixed coding
schemes are there to facilitate the weak signal result. In order to
mitigate that rigidity certain "automation" features exist in the
application ... such as "Call 1st", "odd/even", and having TX Enable
locked to the beginning of a time frame. I'm pretty sure they weren't
put there to remove the need for functioning brain cells.

Exactly. Blocking your program from showing him won’t do a thing
about the way his signal affects your receiver or how much
spectrum is being used. It only keeps you from seeing him.
