WTF is that about??? They have those little thumbnails of members with "Add Friend," but if you do, you can be punished if they reject you? I know the rule says you're supposed to personally know everyone you add as a friend, but c'mon, really? I have never met 95% of the people I have as friends on FB, and I really like having all those friends. It's even more so here; I haven't met anyone here (at least not to my knowledge), and I have lots of friends here. FB is a pain sometimes!
Then there's this guy on eBay. He is selling a Garfield watch for $132. I tried to see what was special about this watch. Is it real gold? I don't know, but there are several just like it on eBay for way less. I got mine for $16!  Well, I sent him a question on eBay asking if it's the same as the others, and he basically told me he only knows about his merchandise, he can't speak for others. Then he told me not to contact him again unless I'm buying a product from him, because (he says) my asking him a question like that is against eBay's rules (it is???), and if I contact him again (other than to buy merchandise), he'll report me!  Oh, gosh. I'm. so. scared.

I don't know much about the FB blocking thing. Although I do have FB, it makes me uncomfortable.
Re/Ebay, and your asking the fella a question...well, that's just rude. I have sold my art on Ebay for over 10 years. People ask me questions about it all the time....I mean specific questions about the process, the medium I use, and they don't intend to buy. I always answer them. That is what one should do on Ebay, in my humble opinion. I really think the guy who answered you so rudely should be reported, with his response to you copied and pasted in your report.
