+### Blocking
+
+Warning: For the same reason one typically does not want exceptions from logging to leak into the execution path, one typically does not want a logger to be able to have the side-efect of actually interrupting application processing until the log propagation has been unblocked.
+
+When the buffer size limit is reached, the default behavior is to drop any further attempted writes until the queue abates, reporting each such failure to the `Serilog.Debugging.SelfLog`. To replace this with a blocking behaviour, set `blockWhenFull` to `true`.
+
+```csharp
+    // Wait for any queued event to be accepted by the `File` log before allowing the calling thread
+    // to resume its application work after a logging call when there are 10,000 LogEvents waiting
