Would you ever post the contents of a private message?
 

If someone PMed you, would you post the message, or convey the information of the PM to the rest of the board?

No. Unless both parties were not opposed to it and it was relevant for the rest of the forum.

Would I EVER?

Ever is a long time, so yes, I would if I thought it was appropriate.

Only with permission.

Only if I was Spexx, and the PM was the one that prompted me to start this thread.

If I got an abusive PM I just might, although first I'd probably share it with UT or a moderator to see if we need to start ban proceedings.

Never without the PMers consent.

In cases of personal safety or in matters with legal implications I would point it out to UT but I can't think of any reason to ever post it publicly.

Note to self: never PM Cloud with private info. :D

I would not post, or divulge the contents of, or otherwise parade another's PM to me unless the PMer told me to or said it was OK. That holds true whether it was a nice PM, a mean PM, an abusive PM, a slammin' PM...whatever.

But I know there are those who don't live by that credo, which is equivalent to telling Miss McGillacuddy that Mark is chewing gum in class, only worse.

ha ha ha
 

Yes I would. And I have.

Nope. There are probably some circumstances where I would with permission of the author, but generally I wouldn't even paraphrase a private communication on a board.

Probably some of the most boringest posts I have ever seen on the internet are where somebody goes "so-and-so is abusing me and they should be banned" and posts a big string of PMs they supposedly got from someone. Snooozefest. That might be funnier on this site, though.

would and have.

would you ever considering manning the fuck up and saying what you mean? or would you prefer to continue to be a little weasley bitch about everything?
