Sixteen years on the Internet, and I still can't tell what anyone thinks of me. I thought for sure ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
foodpoisoningsf would deFriend me again after the last time I ended up insulting him in his journal. But it's been a couple weeks and the axe hasn't fallen, so I guess I'm out of the woods if still not exactly in good graces.
So then today I go to comment in someone's journal and find that I can't: He's banned me. Maybe I've got a quaint idea of netiquette, but I always thought it was customary to at least give someone a head's up. Provided they weren't obvious trolls or harassers, of course. But given that this is someone that I've actually taken out to dinner before, I didn't think I'd qualify as either.

It's hard not to overthink this kind of interaction. If you have a means of direct communication, isn't that always better? It could be a mess-up.
