Originally posted by robbie carrobieI dealt with it as I saw fit. I did the same with galveston75's weird "sex" message. As I said elsewhere recently, If abuse and threats are going on, its targets should be open and explicit about the fact that it's happened, and not shroud it in secrecy and deal with it 'behind closed doors' ~ which is what handing the problem over to the web site amounts to.
Why indeed. If you were truly concerned with the abuse you could have appealed to the site administration. You could have blocked the person so that you did not receive any more abuse. What you did was quit heinous, to betray a confidentiality.

It seems to be man's nature to fight until the bitter end, even in the face of defeat.
FMF needs to apologize to Suzianne for what he did.

He broke rules, and should apologize!!!

"Betrayal"? So you contend that an abusive person's behaviour should be kept confidential?

Originally posted by robbie carrobieThere haven't been anymore abusive texts since I told her that I'd showed that one to most of the regulars. So the step I took was effective. She still has the option to communicate with me in a non-abusive way because she is not blocked, and if she does, I wouldn't dream of showing it to anybody.

Originally posted by FMFyes but you could have saved her blushes and yours by blocking her instead. Panic over, problem solved. Its not very well handled and I suspect that your vindictive side got the better of you that day as you gleefully handed out a private correspondence.

Originally posted by FMFWas that the instance where he thought you were gay and asked that you stop stalking and pursuing him because he was not interested in your unsavoury advancements? Yes I think your revealing this private correspondence was a heinous betrayal of trust.
