Ages ago (2018) I posted a bunch of screenshots of a cool D&D thread, and promptly got into an argument with the author of those screenshots because I hadn't linked to her Tumblr.
She was really mad. She told me I'd lost her money, because she also does commissions (not mentioned in her tweet, or at the time, on her twitter page - I went looking when she complained).
I didn't know she HAD a tumblr, I don't go investigating the profile pages of everyone who has a cool tweet thread. After some arguing, I deleted all the back and forth posts and edited the original with her link in it. I do want to say that she was very hostile and rude, and I felt like I wasn't, until I was. Then I deleted everything and made the change.
She left up that one post, so now I just look like a giant asshole on her page, and people won't stop re-blogging the original, unedited version. (To be fair, I suspect she blocked me, so I'm just seeing that last post of mine on the top of her page? unless she pinned it there)
I didn't think I'd done anything wrong. I used the same format I saw everyone else reposting screenshots of twitter had - no one else had linked to anything.
Anyway, it now has like, 600k re-blogs and still going strong. Every single time there's a pile of those, I get people who follow me, and I'm reminded for a few weeks of something that WAS cool, and then suddenly wasn't, and I get angry again.
ANYWAY - if you're new because of that post, here is Smith's tumblr: http://emilykcomicsmith.tumblr.com/
She pays for supplies herself.
