If that is how it is, then I say he is the one who violated netiquette ... according to old school thought at least.  If someone does that to me, I would do as Dunc suggested, and me being me, add in that he is a novice at guilt trips to boot.  Proper etiquette as I learned it was if you expected a link back you negotiated that beforehand.  Otherwise it was simply a case of blog A linking to something relevant that blogger A liked (sometimes called an "organic" link).

 He didn't email me and ask for a link back. He only said that he put my link on his blog. 
I am probably feeling guilty more from 12 years of having nuns beat it into me than anything, in other words, a knee jerk reaction lol..
Ok I feel better now - in other words he should not expect anything from this, it is just basically a gift. And very likely he does not, I just felt guilty about him doing it and not reciprocating.
Thank you all. I am going to lie down now. 
Have a good weekend
