Never been sent a notification before
9 years ago
I follow many artists and I usually leave positive comments on most of the submissions that I see. However recently on someone's submission I asked a question and it let to a back and forth argument that escalated to a very uncomfortable point for both of us. I quickly became ashamed for starting it but what happened next was something that I did not see coming.
The artist sent me a private notification regarding my inappropriate behavior and told me that if I bring this up again then I will be blocked. I sent him a message back saying that I would never talk about the offensive subject again and I deleted every comment that I recall making on his submissions that related to it.
I have been on this site for a year and a half and never have I felt so guilty for offending someone. I believed that I had a very good standing on this site and I could blend in well with many other members.
Starting that argument is probably the worst mistake that I have ever made on a forum and I need to find personal forgiveness because I am very upset about this right now. I won't tell you who the artist is nor the topic of discussion because I don't want either of us to have former wounds reopened.
Hopefully this is just a one time mishap that I will get over. I hope that latter on I can better decide when it is necessary to talk about such a taboo topic as I did.
Good night.

Drama is a normal thing among furries... I've learned that when someone becomes defensive, I back down and bite my tongue, even when the other person is wrong. Two things happen in this case; First, you avoid being the cause of the drama. I know you didn't start it, but we're furries and EVERYONE is wrong. We're all horrible people lol. Second, they'll learn the truth from someone else who is used to all the drama and bickering back and forth. The person learns the truth, and the other person moves on to troll somone else. I don't know who you had it out with, but I have a vague idea of what it's about. And if it IS what I think, you now know the reason for me leaving the other forums site. Because as hard as it is to believe, there's even MORE ignorance on that site, and I just had to escape that toxic environment >_<

OP
I thought that the drama was between internet trolls that were registered on this site and I believed that I was in a position where I knew how not to go too far. I was wrong.

I wouldn't worry about it... I know, it's a horrible feeling that turns your stomach... But the two of you will be okay, and possibly be friends again.
