I remember this, I didn't know if you did this to other people or not 
after we had our own personal issue sorted out, that's all. I was 
emailed offlist by someone who said you had done this before. Just 
because in that case you weren't blocking me didn't mean you weren't 
blocking others. If you said as much then I apologize for not remembering.

Well, thanks for thinking of my mental well being. I do try to remain 
accurate in what I say online and will retract what I assert if shown 
otherwise, and I am stating that it was something told to me third 
person and knew you'd correct me if I was wrong, and apparently I was 
mistaken. But the point remains in reference to the situation, though it 
may not be something you do in this case...
