Did you ever consider adding it to the TOU? I will only use PM's with well-known posters now if they can be sprayed anywhere.

While we are at it Bob, what is the stance on communicating threats via PM? This may be an area you want to take under advisement if not currently considered in the TofU.

Perhaps revealing a PM is a netiquette problem, but a far greater problem would seem the willingness to threaten either privately or openly.

<<I strongly dislike seeing private communications made public, but that's a netiquette issue, not a TofU issue.>>

Is it still a netiquette issue when the PM is uninvited, is done to avoid public criticism, and seems to contain what appears to be inside information (specifically, a PM that reveals the verbatim details of a company press release before the company makes the press release)?

I, too, think that publicly posting a PM is generally tacky, at best. But, isn't there a line somewhere?

PS - SI spell checker needs to have "netiquette" added <g>

Bob,

Please consider censoring Mr Wexler. His harassment of Pallisard is inappropriate. While few of us may agree with Pallisard's cited comments many of us find Wexler's continuous reference to them and hateful personal attacks to Pallisard (on various threads) to be offensive and completely uncalled for. Wexler's attacks are relentless and an egregious affront to the individual's dignity. Furthermore, one must wonder if Mr Wexler even understands the meaning of the word "bigot".
