Just got an anonymous PM.

It said that my posts were not welcome on her stories, and would be deleted. And, she said, it is not about what is posted, but who posted it.

I am disappointed that 1) I do not know who the author is, and 2) I cannot respond and see if the issue can be resolved.

In all my years on the site (Sept 2007), I have never attacked an author. In fact, the only commenters I sometimes torment are the BTBers. If the story doesn't suit my taste, I rarely even read it, and definitely do not comment
 
I can see where not knowing who sent that is frustrating because if you knew you could recall what you've said that pissed them off.
I'm always amazed at the irony of authors lamenting how few comments we get in comparison to reads and even votes, then they complain about the comments even when they're not just nasty hate which I can't see you doing.
 
I've seen plenty of your comments over the years while I've been leaving them myself.

I've never seen a single post of yours that was either inappropriate or unfair.

Who's right below you in the most comments list? They just want to reduce your count!
 
That's unfortunate. I hate to use the term "Karens", but male or female, that's the sort of person you've got there. Offended easily and unintelligent enough to take things out of context when they don't understand something you may have said in a comment or here on the forums. Put it behind you.

What is the point in sending an Anon message like that????
Doesn't make sense...
Certainly makes it difficult to address what the issue is...
We are a weird bunch, us human beings....

Maybe just keep commenting the same way you always have, and (if you care at all) checking to see whether they get deleted or not in order to see which author this is.

And then deciding whether to just stop commenting on their stories or not.

Sounds like a lot of effort but if they didn't identify theirself there's no real way they can expect you to not comment again in the future, so, .
 
I'm wondering if they somehow managed to get you mixed up with somebody else. It's Lit, so all things are possible.
 
They didn't want you to know who they are, so it couldn't have been a real issue. Reminds me of something similar that happened in real life, once.
 
"I Don't like your comments so you can't comment on my story any more and I'm not going to tell you who I am???"
I'm sorry, but that is SO FREAKING STUPID It's not like you can't look it up in a heartbeat...

Pissed in someone's Cheerios​

Likewise. Added to my list of American idioms for fleshing out my American characters - writing them, then removing the Britspeak, can leave them a bit bland.
 
For authenticity, the American quote in original form is, "who pissed in your Post-Toasties?" Or, "I think I pissed in his/her Post-Toasties." (I'm not even sure Post Toasties are still an available commodity, but the use of 'Cheerios' would indicate the speaker was born sometime after the '80's or '90's. The rest of us are older than dirt and knew Post Toasties as one of the original non-sugary-sweet cereals that few bought, ate, or liked. BTW, they didn't earn you an Olympic gold either, as the advertising indicated. smh Sad.)

Noted. I think Cheerios works better for an international audience, though. I'm a bit older but don't remember Post-Toasties - though when staying with the American side of my family, I rarely explored the pantry beyond the Cinnamon Toast Crunch and the Golden Grahams. You can get them in England now if you want to pay about 9 dollars a box...

I thought Post Toasties was the Canadian target of choice for the morning urine stream

I always heard it as "peed in your Wheaties", a cereal which had the same medalist shills for their marketing.

"The breakfast of champions."
