Thanks this is exactly how I wanted to handle it. I was afraid of retaliation or even me being portrait as the aggressor in the conflict, though. I would have loved to clear the conflict without contacting the officials on Steemit, however I am thankful to @ats-david for finding the right words when talking to @andyluy on Steemit.chat.

Next time I see someone who is in my opinion violating the etiquette of Steemit I will try to solve it more directly, but it is good to know that there are people I can turn to in case it escalates.
