Notify your boss about what this certain coworker is doing. The working conditions have to be right for you as well, you can't be bullied in your own work place.

I would ask them to stop, if they did;t i would report them to a moderator. Then I would need to block them if that was needed. I would also tell them what it was I was feeling so they can warned how it was offending me if I was offended

Try speaking with him and creating a positive relation. Friends are nice to friends. If that doesn't work then do as they do to you, ignore them, or simply just leave things to God.

The best way to deal with this would be to first try talking to your coworker and see if you ca reason with them but if that doesn't work maybe go to some one higher up like your mutual manger and report the problem to them.
