No, it isn't.
I see a difference between pm's and emails received in a fight, which are (in the opinion of the recipient) unwanted and aggressive, and the confidences invited. I do not believe people can thrust information upon you- especially in anger (or whatever this emotion was you were in the grips of) and then expect confidence. For one thing, the aggressed party frequently wants to do a reality check- like what the heck does this mean, and why is this coming to me? Your approach to me was so whacked out we considered changing our email address. We really did. That was my perception and cosmic's- who lives here, and reads everything that comes in.
You can think that is snarling if you want. I happen to think it is just another opinion. I wouldn't expect Poet to keep anything confidential now (not even anything I asked her to keep confidential, 'cause i know she wouldn't be able to)- even when we were friends. Because you realize that by proving YOUR point, she just violated my confidence. And I still liked Poet at that point. Wouldn't have sent her the Pm if I didn't like her. So I passed on a private pm to a "friend", and Poet just posted a header from a private PM from me publicly, and talked about content- while still preserving your privacy, of course. :-) Wow. That's good E. Now, let's hear all about the distinctions there. |
