Apple does not block jailbroken devices, jailbreaking is legal so they would not have a right to do so.
I think the misunderstanding might be due to that Apple releases updates to eradicate exploits used to install jailbreaks. Yes Jailbreaks are leagal, and still Apple is not breaking any laws by releasing updates that makes it harder to jailbreak.
Thus you could in a way say that Apple blocks jailbreaks by releasing updates which would remove a jailbreak, so you should always check if you can jailbreak after you update if you want to update.

That's hearsay for you -- and a lack of understanding regarding causal versus coincidental. His jailbroken device may have been blacklisted but it wasn't blacklisted because it was jailbroken.
He's referring to the thread title I think. It says "do apple" when it should say "does apple".
The European view is that companies are plural, not singular, so "Do Apple" makes sense from that perspective, and "Does Apple" doesn't.
Hmmm. I'm not entirely sure. I've just heard that use amongst UKers. It might be limited to there, or it might be more universal.
Your mate was either mistaken or trying to scare you mate.
Go on and JB eh. Its quite ok
