Blocking distortion questions

CharlieBlocking distortion questions
I have a few questions regarding blocking distortion  
 
1) How does blocking distortion differ from class AB2 operation, they both draw grid current, Right?  
 
2) I have heard that when blocking distortion occures, the grid and cathode resemble a diode. Which way is the diode facing?  
 
I have read the pages on the various associated sites regarding blocking distortion but I'm still a little confused.
