A question of LJ ethics

I'd appreciate my esteemed friends comments on this.
Person X makes a f-locked post.
Person Y (in this case me) responds causing offence to person X though third party enquiries suggest it's no more than me being my, admittedly, robust self.
Person X deletes me from friends list but leaves the f-locked post and my response up. This allows allows random ad hominem attacks on person Y (me) but blocks me from replying. Polite back channel enquiries are ignored.
Is this ethical?

I hope I'm making sense, it's past my bedtime...
