Well... I suppose it had to happen sometime... my first blockage. Wait, that didn't come out right. Wait, that sounds even worse.
I must have inadvertently ticked off a NYC provider who is generally well-reviewed. He had kindly granted access to his private photos, but after some time they went back to being greyed out.... so I requested access again some weeks later. Again he kindly granted access.
He also messaged me asking if I was serious or just looking at photos, which is a completely valid question.
I told him I was really new to this and that I was trying to figure out who I might be able to meet when Im in town (in a couple of months).
He responded, 'good luck with that'.
I responded, 'thanks, have a good day', but the message could not be sent because I had been blocked... profile not accessible.
Aside from my own inability to recognize his sarcasm, I was also confused about why his private pics had become greyed out again after he had granted access the first time. Has anyone else run into this issue? I havent seen that with other profiles.
Im not naming the individual because I completely understand why he may have been frustrated, and that he may have thought I was a time-waster. I know providers have to weed through dozens of messages a day. This is a good learning experience for me anyway.
But if he happens to be on this forum, and happens to read this, and happens to recognize the situation... I just want you to know I didnt mean any disrespect to you or your time ?
