A block of blue cheese grew additional fuzzy whiteish mold on its edges prompting the question "can blue cheese go mouldy or bad?", under refridgeration, of course.

Yes all cheese can go bad. Blue cheese is injected with a special type of penicillin to cause the safe mold you see. the fuzzy mold that grew on your cheese is unrelated to the "blue" veins and can be very harmful. When in doubt throw it out

Blue cheese is a general classification of cow's milk and/or goat's milk cheeses with a blue or blue-green mold. The blue mold in these cheeses is due to mold spores from Penicillium roqueforti or Penicillium glaucum, etc.
Today most blue cheeses (bleu cheese) are either injected with the mold, as with Roquefort, or the mold is mixed right in with the curds, as it is with Gorgonzola, to insure even distribution of the mold. Most of these cheeses must still be aged in the original caves where they were developed to bear the name.

It can go bad. It will taste absolutely disgusting and will change to a darker color. I wouldn't eat the blue cheese you described.

I thought that was why they called it blue cheese, because it was already at that stage! Those little blue chunks, look like mold.

Yes. It's all about the kind of mold involved. The stuff already there, good, the new stuff, bad, get rid of it.

No, i don't think it could go moldy considering blue cheese is already technically moldy...but if its growing lots of sick fuzz i probably wouldn't eat it.

Yes it can. Don't buy more than you're going to use within a week.
