Not sure how I feel about this...
So, let's talk about [name redacted]. He was a regular on my posts and comments. Mostly benign, sometimes with innuendo. He sent me his first message and I left it there. This went on for months and I had him categorized into the mostly harmless category.
Then I made a post about pizza. He sends me a private gift with the note "I'll be sitting naked on top of your pizza."
Into the trash and no response from me, except to use it as an example in a comment about gross things we've all gotten on SW. I did not name drop him, but it was clear he saw that comment.
After that, his replies to me were less positive and more argumentative. So I started to tag him in posts where it was a joke, but sometimes an unkind one. Tonight, tagging him in a post about men acting like they are on their period earned me a block.
It saves me one. I've certainly pushed people to block me before, but always in the moment and normally about politics. I'm not sure I'd do it again, since it kind of feels like I got into the mud with him.
Also, should he post anything about me, I wanted the story to be out.
