Yes, I hate it when people map your land under the guise of trading. I won't bother announcing my borders are closed, I'll just kill the caravans. I may even wait for multiples to be approaching before I do. People usually get the message loud and clear. I'll even try to rush boats in cities to try to sink approaching ships. (costly and usually ineffective, but it makes people think twice about it)

I esepcially hate it when their caras block your roads and your trying to do something - that can push me over the edge

Yeah, you're trying to move troops to the front and the bastard won't even move off YOUR roads to let them pass like it's their "right" or something. Just another reason why I don't usually allow caravans in. The only exception is when two other players have made a weasel agreement and if you don't, you'll fall too far behind. Even then, I'm not thrilled.

I treat caravans like any other enemy unit... If I have the power to kill it or the money to bribe it... I do!
If I don't have a "weasle" trade agreement with somebody, and they try or actually do establish a trade route, you can bet your sweet life that I will work on a way to stop that crap in the future

Why bribe a caravan? I'd rather bribe the boat it came from and kill the caravan with the boat (it might even get vet status  )

Caravans on good terrain can be tough to knock off with attack strength 1 units. I've lost quite a few warriors and tiremes trying it.

How many people try to stop it or allow it?
I fight it personally.
But I will try to jam some down their throat if able.
How about the rest of you.
