My father is having a conflict with my stepmother. My father told me to stay away from this conflict and to ignore my stepmother's messages. Is it permissible to block or ignore her messages? I don't know the details of this conflict and I think it would be unwise to get involved.

Yes, you can distance yourself, ignore these messages, and make it clear that you're not going to get involved in any way, shape, or form.
