Yes, yes, yes! As an interviewer, I have to say that you've hit the nail right on the head, right through the article.
It really is okay to be nervous, and frankly, showing some nerves may even help you. It tells us, the interviewers, that there's a real human being on the other side of the table, not a Polished Mechanical Egotist™. Everyone is in over their head when starting a new job at their experience level, and there is always someone else who knows more than you. So if someone is nerve-free during an interview, that just flags me to the person having an unrealistically high assessment of themselves.
With that said, @noronhat
's comment is also valid: if you're good at what you do, they should also be convincing you to take the job. Any new job should be a win-win, and it's their job to prove that this would be a win for you...literally, that they're worthy of your awesomeness.
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
