Beware!

May the Horse be with you.
There is an FA user that I will not name that I wish I hadn't the pleasure to meet with. I honestly don't know what their problem was, but I'm honestly glad I decided not to follow them anymore.
To make the story short, it started with a complete misunderstanding when the person has blocked me for no reason. I really don't know why or what caused the block, so when I found out that the user was also on a social media site that I frequent as well, I decided to contact them there. Keep in mind that I was being completely civil about this and all I did was ask why I was blocked. I did nothing to deserve it, so I believed that it was an honest mistake. On my first message, I did not get a reply back, and I waited for at least 24 hours before I messaged them again.
it was only until after my 2nd message that I got a response on the following day, and what I got appalled me. Apparently it WAS a case of misunderstanding and the block was indeed a mistake, but they suddenly went on a tangent having a stressful day after school and stuff, and like how "I was stalking them and being a creep". As if metaphorically delivering a kick to the balls, not only did they decide keep the block up here, but also went ahead and put me on the ignore list on the social media site as well. I never got a chance to respond back afterwards.
I was both in shock and hurt, and I regret making the attempt to fix the problem. How was I "stalking" them? They had a link to their social media account on their userpage, so why have that in when they assume that they're being stalked?
I'm not going to report her to the site admins because there is nothing in their rulebook about a case of mistaken blocking and misunderstanding, but I wish to advise those who are currently following the user:
If you are mistakenly blocked by that person, don't bother trying to fix the issue and just unfollow them. It's not worth it getting insulted over something so petty as a misunderstanding, and honestly, I think the user has social issues when it comes to people they never met personally.
I will give the name of the suspected user if asked via PM so you can be wary of any future issues, but I would advise doing anything rash towards them afterwards.
That's all.

FA+

But I have met some other people who accidentally blocked me and thanks to the help of a fellow furry I follow here, I was able to get it patched up since they're nice.
