As always, Bella, you offer very wise advice. I can honestly say I have never blocked anyone, other than pure spammers.
I also feel uncomfortable tagging people on my articles but only do it on my drabbles where readers have requested to be tagged in them. Hopefully, most people who like my content are following me and will
usually be notified when I post something new.
Readers who just say “Great poem/story. Oh you may like to read this great article I just wrote and here is the link ….” Really turns me off. I may or may not take a look, but I guarantee there is a 90% chance I will not like what they wrote. If that’s the case and I do comment they better be prepared for an honest review.
