I have been an active member of this community since 2018.
I think I gave a lot, and of course, I have also received a lot. But over the last weeks it was the first time I have been properly annoyed by one member of this community (Well, there was a previous case, but this is another story).

My telegram handle is not public, but someone was smart enough to contact me over Telegram by finding my handle.

I received a call from an unknown contact.

Then a chat appeared:


	Tanya Called	Tanya became Alvy. Of course he is a smart guy

	The guy was quite pushy	Continued

Now he is blocked, and my Telegram handle was changed to make it less easily guessable.
I understand this is part of the game, but it made me feel unwell, as as I clearly state on my merit thread:

What you don't get applying to get a post merited:

The certainty of a merit for your submission.
The timely assessment of the quality of your merit submission.
The right to discuss my meriting choices. My meriting habits aren't under scrutiny here.

Let alone ringing my phone and harassing me with a merit request.

I will continue to do my best to help this community. I just wanted to share this with this unknown user.

Whoever did this did a very bad thing because everyone would have benefited from this. Now everyone will have to pay for it for one person. In fact, those who do not understand social etiquette should not come to this forum. For those who cannot grasp even the minimum level of social decorum, this forum is not the right place.There are still some people in the society who have not been able to learn discipline, social skills, and politeness even from this forum.

In life generally there's a demarcating line between the place of right and that of privilege but unfortunately some persons confused the two thereby taking a privilege to be a right of theirs. Going outside the forum is just the height of it.

I think it is in the avoidance of such harassment and invasion of privacy by some uncultured persons that might have made some merit sources restrain from creating such similar threads because there will be those that would abuse the privilege. But then, I believe fillippone is someone with a heart of gold, he wouldn't allow one disrespectful sloth come in-between his generosity.
