I thought the point of blocking people was so they couldn't talk to you, not the other way around ^o)
Well, lets see what Messenger says in its Options window:

People on your allow list can see your online status and send you messages.  People on your block list can't see your status or send you messages.

you can still invite people for webcam (yours or the other side's) from the Conversation window's menu>Actions>Video. Appearing Offline only hides the webcam icons below the display pictures in conversation windows.

Stuffplug to my understanding has a feature that allows you to talk to blocked contacts, but they can’t talk to you (I think). If you ask me it should work the other way around because if I wanted to talk to someone I would, no need to have them blocked, on the other hand if I could block contacts temporarily and still receive their offline messages that would be a lot more useful...
(Offline) Messages coming from a blocked contact are stopped probably at servers and aren't delivered to recipients so StuffPlug cannot add this functionality.

Also I think blocking contacts must prevent receiving messages from them as well as to be seen when Online by them. Otherwise how would we be able to prevent receiving messages from whom we don't want.
