I Was Blocked
I just got blocked by someone called "The Duchess Of Maple Syrup" because I made a joke about his/her misspelling of vinaigrette. Now I can't read the childish insult he/she posted before saving me from his/her future dumb posts.

@questionWeaver :I don't know what you mean by a "do-over"·
Thank you asking Art! ... apologies, I sometimes use colloquialisms from sports.
In baseball, when kids swing and miss ... we congratulate them for swinging ... and tell them to stay "at bat" ... and "do it again" ... thus, the "do over" label.
In friendships we frequently use the same "do it again" ... when we miss the first time.
Thus we get an almost infinite number of "do overs"
Did that explanation help?
* Am still trying to convince myself that English is my 1st language.

@questionWeaver: The explanation doesn't really help in this situation although I do understand what you're saying. Because I'm blocked I can't reply - even if I wanted to offer an apology for making your friend look stupid I can't. Since the "mute button" was introduced that is my favoured course of action if I get fed up with certain people's posts. I make my living from food so I do take it seriously!
@ArtieKat: Hi Art ... I can appreciate the seriousness of food ... and the pickle of an impasse that the block and mute buttons create.
Lol ... I get ticked off at things too!
Just suggesting Duch is worth an open dialogue

@questionWeaver: But how? He took the decision to block me - he's the only person who can reverse that.
@ArtieKat: Time Art ... everything good takes time ... just be open
You seem like a good guy ... just give it time
