person shouldnt hide behind that message though.. he said bad stuff about Helen... it's up to her what she does with it... he gave up that ownership when he hit 'send'...
yes he did. and it is up to her. i merely offered my personal perspective on it. i think it's uncool that he sent it, and i think it uncool that she posted it. makes no difference to me if anyone agrees or disagrees with me on the topic. sending the PM is in poor taste, posting it is in poor taste. my 2 cents.
after a bunch of PMs got posted on the message pit a few times, and people banned over posting them as well.....definitely has made me think twice about what i send in PMs here. always like to think i trust those i converse with privately, but sure...you just don't know eh? e-mail, PMs, etc...you're right...anyone can do whatever they want with em.

well i received quite a few of these PM's from the same sender also, but i choose not to post mine... not because i was bothered if they were 'private' or not... more that the replies i sent back were so bombastic in their vitriolic genius that i was scared i might make people weep.
oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

to be honest, I don't care what people think. If somebody had said that stuff to me in private on the street, I'd have posted it. The fact that it was said to me 'in private' here was no different to me. It went beyond rude... and I'd like to see what some of you would do if you got that... and that was just ONE pm of 6 in one day. The pm was nothing private to him... it was just him being abusive so it's not like I posted his private thoughts or anything. Anyway, we've made it up and got over it... we've both said our apologies to eachother and both accepted them... so that should be it. I've admitted that what I did was wrong but again, I don't think it needs that much defending. So thanks to everyone who stood up for me.

we all follow our own ways eh?
Agreed... that was my way. I will send smart arsed replies but I won't send abusive replies and I don't enjoy getting abusive pm's. It was a new board, I genuinely didn't know how to report them OR how to ban him... so I did what came into my half drunken and pissed off head at the time to put an end to it. It's all well and good that some people can ignore stuff like this or take a higher moral ground... but I can't.

all i can say is, differing perspectives.
you have no idea what kind of PMs i have ever gotten, and imo, as it should be - doesn't make a bit of difference for the discussion in any case. any 'issues' i have ever had, taken care of privately, and if needed, alerted the mods, you bet. as i said, i am not 'defending' anything, at all. you posed a question, you put the information out there to discuss, and so i choose to discuss it. i don't think you need to be 'stood up for' at all. you are not being attacked. i disagree with your choice of action, but that hardly constitutes a thing. merely a different pov. nothing more, nothing less. happy to read tho that you both resolved your differences, b/c sure.....forget being offensive, always over the line...but all the rest, definitely childish, on all sides. :P so something good did come of it, so good for you both!

Well as much as I don't think it's right to get nasty pms from someone. Im not for posting pms. A lot of times people do it do humiliate or embarrass someone, I don't think that's right either. I guess the best thing to do is fire a profane one back or report it.
These cuts are leaving creases. Trace the scars to fit the pieces, to tell the story, you don't need to say a word.

I certainly didn't do it to embarrass or humiliate anyone... it was more out of 'what the fuck?'

Yeah, it takes a whole lot of character and maturity to ignore childish name-calling :roll: You've been here too long to be so thin-skinned.
That said, let this be a warning to people. I know it says PRIVATE message, but nothing you do online is EVER private. Before you make the mistake of making your gross immaturity public by hitting send, think hard on it... you never know when the recipient might be just as immature and burn you with your words.

wow, YOU'RE a surprising addition to this thread... I've ignored your name calling and abuse a few times.
I agree completely with the second paragraph though.

And here I've been priding myself on my ability to be cruel and abusive while avoiding explicit name-calling. Damn. Though I suppose there was that one rather memorable slip up.
Anyway, this reminds me of the thread that got catch22 banned... a hugely ironic post by someone complaining about being the subject of gossip. Can't help but wonder at the motives of them talking so loudly and publicly about it... seems a great way to garner attention and emphasize how one is almost a mini-celeb in a pathetic internet message board way. Not that you'd ever do that, of course.

No, what he did was wrong, Im referring to different situations and just in general. I know what you mean by what the fuck..I have posted a lot of stuff while having a WTF moment

At least somebody understands I've said I was wrong here and I apologised to him personally so I don't understand why there's a need to go on about it.
