Did Facebook remove the option to block someone from a friend request?

Today a hater who has been saying evil lies about me tried to add me as a friend on Facebook because the spy they had used to show them everything I posted on my account, stopped agreeing to share my posts with them. I never figured out who the spy was.

I deleted the request but could not find a way to block them before deleting the request.
