I offered some criticism in one of his markets about how the language he used was imprecise, a bit inflammatory, and likely to not be resolvable as written.

To be fair to him, I know he's a (sometimes aggressively) direct guy and even though I definitely tend to not be as direct I figured he'd appreciate a direct approach. He didn't, it wasn't a productive conversation, and it ended with him blocking me and hiding a comment about how the language he used could be seen as a dogwhistle.

On the whole, we've had fairly productive interactions before this. But, of course, being blocked means I'm going to shy away from Manifold's most prolific market creator, as I can't trust the reliability of his resolutions when communication is barred. Will he unblock me, or is this bridge burned? I must be unblocked at the end of the month *and* when I go to resolve this question for this to resolve YES, in any other case this resolves NO.

I don't intend to make overtures to be unblocked nor do I intend to antagonize him further, since I like respecting the boundaries people set for themselves and I generally try to be an agreeable fellow, but we're all messy humans at the end of the day so who knows how this shakes out.
