Plebiscite call on another topic, namely, the extent to which private messages are inviolate.
I have had one member sent me 3 PMs clearly intended to
hurt, hitting below the belt. Another member has done so
more than twice. That same person was able to make two
ladies cry for several days.
I have had several members tell me about their health
problems. That information I would never reveal.
I have had members tell me things that would embarrass them if repeated. That too I would never repeat.
I see no reason for the member who prompted this discussion to object to my revealing his objection, since
I counted on his prestige to encourage others to agree with
him if they shared his views.
Let's see if we can get a concensus about the intended
hurtful posts. Do any members feel that they may not be
revealed? Must cowardly hurtfulness be privileged?
