. And did you ask for confidence?

What are you saying? That because I didn't write at the bottom of that very emotional, and very very VERY Private Message, "Do not paste to others" you had a right to paste it to others? A goat would have known it was private.

Oh, and because it is your opinion that I told you, in great detail, personal information of an emotional nature "to manipulate [you]," that is extra justification for sending that PM around to others?

I explained why I was writing about it. I was emotional. The point of the PM that was written to Rambi, and excerpted to you, was to talk in a deep, personal way, referring to childhood, to my family dynamics, why I reacted as I did. I didn't even write it for you, I wrote it for Rambi, to help me. Excerpts to you were an afterthought before I went away for ten days. I've never written a more personal document in PM or email. There's something about Rambi that makes you feel you can do that.

But you are saying that because you FELT manipulated, and hadn't ASKED for excerpts from those confidences, you had a right to paste them to third parties and talk about it to others?

If I hadn't been emotional, and also still to a degree in the mindset that we had some sort of residual sympathy between us (there had been friendly PM's between us at first on the issue under discussion that probably took me off my guard), I wouldn't have sent them to you; but that that mistake justified your sending such private material to others is just...

mind boggling.

I can't believe you did it, and I can't believe you defend it.
