"They" didn't block editing.  "You" did.

If you want to block anonymous users, block anonymous users.  If you want to
allow anonymous users to edit, then understand that you can't block anyone.

If someone is anonymous, then you don't know who they are, so you don't know
whether or not they're blocked.
