Again, the difference is what's allowed by the rules and what's not.
The rules allow for confrontation between CMDRs with very few limitations. They don't allow for abuse between players.
By playing in Open you explicitly and tacitly agree to accept the risk that someone may have their CMDR attack and destroy your CMDR's vessel and that you will behave civilly with regard to other players in chat.
Blocking other players is generally not a recommendable strategy for survival in open. As you have seen they can be instanced with you anyway and of course blocking a ganker doesn't protect you from the next one.
Learning how to survive otoh will save you reliably. "The Git Gud Guide to Trading in Open" on youtube is a good point to start with.

Nice to see you value those inches.
And that's the inconsistency I mentioned. The rules allow me to metaphorically kick you in the shin by jamming your cutter into the mailslot until the station blows it up, but heaven forbid that I say something bad while I'm doing it.
The game is surprisingly enjoyable in solo.
That right there is garbage.
If I checkmate you in chess, am I metaphorically kicking you in the shin? Of course not. Don't be ridiculous. However, bet you might take offense to me cussing you out Malcolm Tucker style.

That's a false equivalence, so it's not inconsistent.
You're now conflating PVP with griefing. Using the chess metaphor, this would be saying that snapping your fingers in front of my face while I'm trying to think is a legitimate strategy.

No, that's you moving the goalposts/playing "no true PVP".
I am not making any such distinction in the post you quoted.
If you can't tell the difference between "true pvp" and griefing then we're just going to have to agree to disagree.
It's clear you can't, so that works for me.

This. And realize as you're travelling around in a new ship that it's underpowered and you need to keep a keen eye out.
Hm...in 2019, I have to listen to some 12 year old tell me how he shagged my mum cos he can't dogfight his way out of a paper bag? You must be joking.
Comm blocking is a 100% REQUIRED feature. Instance blocking, as many people have stated, just changes the priority with which you'll be instanced with that person to the lowest. But you'll still be instanced with them from time to time, especially in busy areas.

Completely agree on comms blocking. There are some people so vulgar out there that honestly, they forfeited their right to free speech years ago.
Blocking shouldn't affect instancing though.
Dock's are often the same instance if possible, so yeah even with blocking it isn't likely that they'd get shifted to another instance.
As for the damage, it really depends on your setup, if your setup has near no hull, then yeah that kind of damage that can happen.
They should change it to only affect the blockee's instancing and not the blockers.
But when was the player blocked? Probably not during the combat, I imagine the OP had other things to do. So after the respawn, I'm guessing he was re-instanced with the still-unblocked player, who he then blocked.
I'm sure being able to affect another player's connection and chances of instancing couldn't be abused at all.
