And yet she used the message facility for that purpose regardless.

verb
əˈbjuːz/

This whole private message thing has got right out of hand.
There is no official ban on the sharing of private messages. The ban is on the sharing of private information which the writer should not wish made public, such as family details, real-world name and address and medical information. There is no ban on the re-broadcasting of offensive or abusive me ...[text shortened]... should be noted. Those of you who are carrying on at such length about this need to get a life.

I have made my case as to why I believe there is no onus on me whatsoever to keep supposedly "secret" abuse secret. If he thinks people knowing what Suzianne's abusive behaviour was is, in and of itself, abusive in some way, he should make his case.
He asked you a question why don't you answer it?
Originally posted by robbie carrobieDid you post verbatim text from a RJHinds message on a public forum? Yes, you did. I would never have done such a thing, regardless of whether I am within my rights to do so.
you have shared it publicly with your flunkies and minions though.
Originally posted by FMFhe asked you why what you did is not abusive. why are you unable or unwilling to answer it?
