If you'd like to block someone on Skype without removing them from your contact list, it's a very simple procedure. You can unblock them anytime, and while you have blocked them, it will simply appear to them as if you're offline a lot.

Steps

1
Open Skype and sign in.
2
Right click on the name of the contact you want to block and select "Block this Person"
