I’m very sorry that happened to you.
When DNP requests were first in use - AS I CAME TO UNDERSTAND THEM - they were a last step for folks who could not work out differences or for obvious harassment/safety issues, or behaviors between folks that was egregious. Now, well, it’s use by some has become more in the line of: “You don’t agree with me, so don’t post to me…”. I don't think that use was necessarily part of it's original intent but we are now able to simply request that from another poster. I don't like it and I think if obvious reasons appear to be lacking, it can be quite hurtful and doesn't exactly improve group harmony but, hey, that's the way it is now.
Try to not let it upset you any more than it has.
