I’m generally not conscious of who has blocked me unless they tell me. Tessa once blocked me and then emailed me through my website to tell me she unblocked me so that I could read her comment on my story. She sent me two very long emails on the subject that got her riled up, so why she felt I also needed to read a comment, is beyond me.

I’m still not blocked, because she just commented on something I wrote and her name was attached. I guess some folks just can’t quit us, Penguin. Love us or hate us, we still get paid when they read. If they really wanted to punish us, they’d stop reading and commenting.
