Why when they play queen out early. Let them play it. My reasons are spamming, stalling, and I think that’s it
Its boring. Even when i do crush the attempt and win, its a boring game

Only when people are stalling. I play 30 min games so waiting 20 minutes is no fun.

When people are being rude, stalling or trying to say that I'm cheating with poorly gathered nonsense is what makes me block them

I have blocked only two people in a year and some of activity.
One sent me a friend request then tried to suck me into a scam via messages after I incautuously accepted that friend request from a total stranger. There's only one sane thing to do when that happens imho: 1) report to the mods, 2) unfriend and block.
The other one was quite nasty, I'll not give their handle but it was based on a Lord of the Rings character name. In a bullet game he mauled me in the opening but I was never quite lost and I kept fighting back and eventually pulled off a swindle...at which point he gave me a message tirade of bad, prejudiced (able-ism) offensive names and accused me of cheating and might even have questioned my parentage. I could see he was angry, likely as much with himself for throwing away a huge advabtage as with me for playing on. But I didn't want to deal with that so I blocked him for a while and did a "rudeness" report. Unblocked him a few weeks later, and I'm glad I did. We met again in play and he utterly mashed me. So in the end the poor angry little fellow got his closure. And in this life what matters is the care we have for our fellows.

I block people when they stall or are very obviously cheating, for the most part. I had one unique case, though.
Very early in my chess journey, I played a guy who played this epic fail of an opening (I was Black):
1. e4 e5
2. Bc4 (premoved) Nf6
3. Qh5 (premoved) Nxh5
He then proceeded to cuss me out in the chat after I took the hanging queen, as though his inability to consider what his opponent might do was my fault. He blundered a rook a few moves later, and only then did he resign. That guy was an immediate "block and report" fellow, though I'm not sure if he was ever banned.
