I've googled this, someone suggested a trick, add email to contact and block, but I don't see a block offered there. Also curious, can you block someone so they receive a bounce back?

You most definitely do not add them to contacts! What you do is in Mail Pref's>Rules create a rule named Block,
then within Criteria use Any Any Recipient, From or Contains then email address.
Then have it Moved to Trash click + to field to then Delete the message.
Now if other mails from unwanted you can simple apply this Rule to those too!

Thanks Dark, appreciate that.
What I would ideally want is for them to receive a bounce, which would indicate I never got the email, hence deprive the annoying person they have communicated with me. Possible?

3rd party apps / scripts, maybe.

Who is your email provider? The best way to do this is via server side, rather than client side rules.

I don't think many mainstream / consumer email providers allow for server-side bounce.

Thanks guys, sorry, email notification not working so good?
That link, what is saying, that the bounce I would like the sender to get is not possible?
I'm with ATT.

For all intents and purposes:
No, not possible with Yosemite and Mail
And 99% likely that AT&T does not provide server-side access to your ATT email accounts (if that's what you meant by "I'm with ATT").
