Twitter! Placement of Actionable Elements matter

Twitter Showed me this in the friend requests page. I just noticed that there is high probability that a user clicks the block link instead of Accept link, given the small gap between the two, and the chances for a slip of mouse pointer on laptop mouse pads, where the user would tap to click. It would have made much more sense to keep the block and Decline link closer instead, though Keeping the Block link away would be better(say in the second line. “If you dont want to receive any more follow requests from X, <link>Block X</link>” would be much better in my opinion, as in that case, the link would come down to the second line, and stay away from the other two.
