It’s called subtlety, something you don’t often use when posting. I was making sure that my understanding of a phrase was the same as most peoples’ understanding of the phrase. I considered that maybe I was the one who was wrong. My question accomplished a couple of things.
- It reassured me that I had a correct understanding of the phrase.
- I caused someone to go back and re-read the phrase, and acknowledge that the phrase was misread.
- It allowed everyone to save some face.

I think your response probably would have been something like “ I said this to somebody, and they thought I called them a name – what an asshole! Cock!” I didn’t go there. You see it as a veiled stupid assed veiled question. I see it as getting my information in line before making an assertion.

If you had gotten your information in line, maybe you wouldn’t have called my thread stupid assed, and I wouldn’t have to explain it to you as though you were a second-grader. [/Bruce, Radar, Rk, Merc, UG]

Do you think I should have started a thread titled "Don't trust that asshole Jinx! I PMed her and she blabbed the contents to the general forum. She has no honor"? That's not my style, but do you think that would have been a better way to handle the situation?

DanaC · 08-30-2007, 08:54 AM

Surely the best way to handle the situation is never to say anything in private that you wouldn't also say in public.

If, however, you choose to confide in a dwellar and that dwellar chooses to blow your confidence open...well than you trusted the wrong person. Don't trust them again. It doesn't require a board wide argument about it (imo).

It was the first time anyone had ever betrayed my confidence on line - I learned the hard way. I didn't want to start a board-wide arguement. I wanted to know if betraying a confidence was standard procedure at the Cellar.
