A question of LJ ethics

[chickenfeet]

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?

Immature, unfair, and drama-whoring. But, doesn't look like there's anything you can do about it, unfortunately. If person X won't respond to your queries, there's unfortunately nothing you can do about it. Which sucks.

The people who know you will know that the offence you gave was unintentional. The others are jumping on a bandwagon.

None of which makes it any less frustrating. But hopefully, it's cooled down by now. Or will soon.
