That's horrid, Ted, but if as Elizabeth suggests that people are blocking impersonators, and is so doing block the real TED (shouldn't happen though!) that could account for it.

It's the only thing that makes sense, especially happening to a writer like you. As I said to Elizabeth I'm wondering if I did that too. If so, Medium should fix the wording ... block the impersonator.

You are a very dear friend, Ted. I hope this gets fixed.
