Extremely bad idea. A blacklist has absolutely nothing to do with 
providing community support at the forums and has everything to do with 
getting yourselves (and Automattic) numerous steps closer to getting 
your arse sued completely off for slander, defamation, and so on.

On another note, if you want to prevent unsolicited contacts between 
forum users then never reveal any users' email addresses. Pretty simple eh?
