Imagine if your relationship depended on bitcointalk merits
That's what you call Relationship Goals

. Anyway, though it was a little bit weird that he take earning merit so seriously but still there's nothing wrong it. What ever you did to him, be glad that he sincerely appreciated your good deed. Shaming him this way is not what he deserve.
I'm not the first one and not the last one. This is why we also get tinder screens of private messages etc. If you took this serious and not for fun then go away, we don't need "the politically correct police" here.
I can post all my PMs if I want.
I can't say anything but 'God bless'.
