Flickr Prickr

I just had a humbling experience on Flickr. Tonight I added a comment and a tag to a picture that I thought I hadn't commented on or tagged before. What happened was that I had commented on and tagged the picture, but the person who posted the picture had disapproved of my eariler comment and tag for reasons unknown (they weren't derogatory in the slightest!) and removed them. He removed the comment and tag I added tonight and subsequently sent me a Flickr e-mail asking me not to do it again and promising to report me to the Flickr administrators if I did. I wrote back apologizing, explaining that I was unaware of his disapproval or of the fact that I had already left a comment and tag on his photo, and I assured him I wouldn't do it again.
The e-mail never reached him. He blocked me.
There's just no pleasing people.  :-(
