When I first joined, I thought I had become friends with an artist whose paintings I admired. I would comment (favourably) and sometimes he would respond, even passing on personal anecdotes.

Then one day he told me I am making a nuisance of myself and I must stop and he does not want me coming to his posts. I asked what I was doing wrong and he flagged me, while also muting me.

It has left me feeling cautious about repeating the experience and sometimes I have wondered whether you too see there is a comment from me and you say to yourself, oh no, not him again.

So your comment has relieved me of that anxiety - thank you.
