  # Override this method to make the block list specific types of profiles
  # instead of anyone.
  #
  # In this class this method just returns <tt>Profile</tt> (the class). In
  # subclasses you could return <tt>Person</tt>, for instance, if you only want
  # to list people, or <tt>Organization</tt>, if you want organizations only.
  #
  # You don't need to return only classes. You can for instance return an
  # association array from a has_many ActiveRecord association, for example.
  # Actually the only requirement for the object returned by this method is to
  # have a <tt>find</tt> method that accepts the same interface as the
  # ActiveRecord::Base's find method .
