Its trivial. If you block it, ident requests to your machine will time out, resulting in a slow initialization of connections like irc, to name one. If your sure you don't wanna use identd, it's best to just shut the service down, instead of blocking it. The ident server thats connecting to your server will just see a connection refused and cary on.
