As you know, this wasn't an off-the-cuff thing. I PMed you a month ago or more and agreed to strictly adhere to privacy issues. As it's your site, of course, you can zap it. LIkewise, however, conning people using your site as a PM solicitation avenue breaks a whole lotta more rules than one member who finally came forward to complain about it, discovering a significant portion of your member base had victim of the same thing. Not all of it, over six years was under your tenure, but it still goes on, even as recent as six months ago.

The very nature of the PM vehicle and nature of the conning would make this go unnoticed forever if nobody did anything about it. I stepped up for a hundred unheard voices who didn't know amongst themselves that they existed.
