Generally? I'd say not. I haven't experienced it in here myself. Eleswhere yes, but not here. I guess it depends on the nature of the confidence as to whether or not it's something you can genuinely guard against. If you have shared some part of your life story in confidence and that is spread, I'd say you got stung badly and there was nothing you could have done to prevent it other than be a better judge of character, and who after all can be said to have flaw-free judgement on that score?

If, however, you shared an opinion about someone else and that was the confidence which was broken, then it was avoidable by not saying anything about someone that you would be uncomfortable to say to that person's face.

I don't know what the confidence was which was broken.

If you have a "problem" with a message board, you're doing it wrong.

Then why didn't you ask that in the first place? I know we haven't really had much interaction, but it did look like a cheap shot after the "rest of the story" came out. Not that I care, I've given and received plenty myself.
