I'm no expert, but I believe the firewall can be set to utterly ignore things it blocks rather than sending a rejection. Generally this is more useful for things connected to the internet at large since you'll just get random probes rather than torrential attacks once they figure out there is something there they can try to break into.
Very much like the difference between ignoring spam and replying to it :-).
I know even less than you about this.
It's very possible that I'm mis-understanding or improperly extrapolating something someone else said earlier in this thread.
