thank you for affirming what linda said. and i agree with you 100%. especially the respect part.
just for the record, when i addressed this long term over time behavior in a message threads it was not honored. and then again offline in a private message with it was ignored and the trolling did not stop.
'just joking' is a poor poor excuse for all kind of nonsense. a simple google will tell anyone that. https://bit.ly/2PPiTWE
opinions are as diverse as people and i'm all for it. some people are adept and delivering feedback and some people are not. i see the clique here and that's actually just and fine and dandy too. but when someone starts trolling me with unsolicited advice, trying to correct another users grammar, punctuation, lowercase with shoulds and needs do this to that (ie lack of respect) to i have to draw the line. and i did. what needed to be done to curb the behavior. and thankfully now, i expect my "friend" won't be hearing from the other "friend" again now, or at least i'm hoping as much. people that can't honor forum or social media type boundaries after getting feedback on several occasions eventually get accountable. choose the behavior and choose the consequences.
i admire your tact and greatly appreciate your diplomacy
