OP, here's what I think I'd do:

1. Compose a message for the nice person. Don't mention your guilty feelings, stick to positive and neutral things. (I like to do this in Notepad or similar, because composing messages takes me ages and this way the risk the message gets eaten is smaller.)

(2. If you want to, unfollow the nasty person. This might make you feel a little bit bad, which is why this is not the last item on the list.)

3. Send the message you composed to the nice person's Ask box, email or similar - make it a private message.

4. Step away from the computer and do something that will take your mind off these things. If you think drama might happen as a result of your unfollowing, make sure not to be around for it. However, I think you'll find it wasn't so bad or so hard.

But OP, please do this, or at least something at all. You know you want to.

not op

I agree with number 4 specially: if shit hits the fan, the absolutely worst thing you can do is to keep fanning the flames by answering or replying to anything, like to clear up things, not to defend yourself, nothing

go on a hiatus to avoid the temptation altogether

seriously, wanting to play PR or to straighten things is a losing game with this kind of people

you won't come out with your reputation unscathed, so don't bother trying to save it

I would go as far to say as to abandon the account, or at least not to log in until you are at the point where you honestly don't give a shit about the fallout

the good news is that the people who are worth knowing will spot the drama bullshit and the ones who care aren't worth associating with

once you go back to check on how things unfolded, you can see who was a chill person and who was a drama hungry shark, so if you want to jump back into fandom, you will know who to avoid

also, the satisfaction of having done the right thing, blah blah

(I'm the anon who made the list one level up)

Reading the secret again, Nasty Person doesn't come across as all that nasty. Very rude, yes, but it strikes me as something someone might do if they were socially overwhelmed and needed to block out their environment, or if they were very, very shy and awkward. Now, I wasn't there, so obviously I can't say if that was the case, but if it was, calling her a bitch seems a bit harsh.
