Huh? When did I say anything even remotely like this. I have kept maybe 5,000+ messages private in my time here and shared 2 with other regular posters. How do you extrapolate from this that I have no reason to keep any messages private? You're clutching at straws Suzianne. I showed people your message because of its content (just as I did years ago with one fro ...[text shortened]... record rooted in a keen sense of protocol based on strong reasons for keeping messages private.

There's a reason why private messages are understood to be private. I don't know why either one of you haven't put the other in their ignore list, especially since this same problem has come up before.

You're also under no obligation to prevent her from sending you private messages.

Well, I didn't prevent her from sending me messages. If you've followed the discussion, you'll know that I didn't block her facility to send me messages and I certainly won't report her to the web site for "harassment" if she does. It's up to her to contact me if she wants to. I haven't prevented her. But she knows what happens if she sends a message like the one Handy Andy posted on page 7. There has been complete transparency in fact. 😉

FMF,

Serious question for you? Have you tried sucking on a soother nipple? You sound like a big baby, perhaps that is all you need to make you happy. 😛

This has been dealt with extensively already. Haven't you read the thread? I suggest you address the arguments already laid out by me, Ghost of a Duke, divegeester, wolfgang59 and Rank outsider and a few others. The same problem certainly has not been caused by me before; I have never sent even an angry message, let alone one with bizarre accusations and threats that was clearly an abuse of the facility.

Suzianne will presumably appreciate your support in her supposedly principled campaign to wipe out insults, name calling and abuse and restore the standards of decency that she claims this forum once had. 😉

I'm talking about problems caused by you sharing private message conversations.

If, by "problems", you mean all the silly name-calling and insults and parody arguments that have come my way, then I don't consider it to be a problem at all. It's water off a duck's back. You'd know this if you'd read the thread.

I've read enough of it to understand what you're doing.

Yes. What I have been doing is not keeping her behaviour secret. And I have most likely headed off possible similar ludicrous messaging in the future at the pass. Indeed, she may well never send a message like that to anyone ever again. She knows exactly where she stands. It's all good. There are no "problems" for me as you seem to think.

But not enough, obviously, to have prevented you from raising points - chaney3-style and Very Rusty-style - that had already been addressed by several different people numerous times. 😛

Why should other people's opinions prevent me from raising points?

Who said anything about problems for you? If the only way you know how to deal with a pm you don't like is to make it public, then you are the problem.

The more pertinent question is why did the fact that your points had already been raised and addressed not prevent you from being so dreary and unoriginal! 😛

If you think there are other supposed problems you want me to comment on you should say what you think they are.

But the suggestion that the only way I know how to deal with a message I "don't like" is to make it public is preposterous. The options I had have been discussed and my course of action explained in full You need to read the thread.
