No. I don’t feel flattered. I only feel uncomfortable. And I don’t usually feel uneasy at acts of kindness from random strangers… but this doesn’t feel like an act of kindness. It feels intrusive.

I wouldn’t feel it was a compliment if a complete stranger hugged me in the street, and I don’t feel it’s a compliment if a stranger cyberhugs me. Maybe I’m unusual, but that’s just how I feel. I like to establish at least some kind of connection before cyberintimacy.

And as it turned out, it seems the poster in question was a blocked poster posting under a new name, as other people apparently suspected. So I definitely don’t see much of a compliment there. I find it rather creepy, actually.
