I am constantly invited to intervene on other people's LJs and groups. I never do so. For this I have two reasons: first, not to encourage people; and second, because as this Lj is open to all and sundry (I never f-lock anything), I consider that I have given enough space to anyone who wants to discuss anything with me. As you see.
Of course I do not tell people who they should friend (though I have heard that some people do). And as you had not written to me before in your own name, I had not had the opportunity to bar you (not that I will do so this time). I consider that I have been treated extremely shabbily by the FA mods and as there is still a month or more of the suspension that you imposed on me (with people publicly and openly hoping that it would prelude to a final expulsion), you can hardly expect me to forget it. But I have already deleted another post where I mistakenly named you as the author of these items, and I apologize for forgetting to delete this entry.
As for your friend, I would have discussed the matter with him/her, instead of losing my temper, if s/he had shown any respect for my views. Unfortunately, his/her tone was, from the beginning, that of the superior being annoyedly imparting information to a lesser creature; and, whatever you may say of me, I hope I have never treated people as ants with that particular kind of sneer on my face. That is an English habit, not an Italian one. I have said what I think of his/her manner, the typical manner of the English boyar, and I see no reason to repeat myself. You should have informed him/her about my temper, but, of course, you are not responsible for his/her manners.
