The understanding I was given by Admin Jeff was that posting PMs was not a TOU violation UNLESS the sender had specifically requested confidentiality. Is this also your policy? No. The reason is that someone could include a boilerplate request for confidentiality at the end of an abusive, threatening tirade. And I'd agree with Foxlette that it's poor netiquette. If you want people to trust you, you don't do it. (There may be some uncommon exceptions to that rule.) I agree, but I think the above example is one of those uncommon exceptions.
