    My feedback is "I don't care."

    The reality is that until now, nobody's posted a PM like this. That is good indication that people do treat the privacy aspect with respect.

    In fact, it seems the PMs posted to start this thread were intended to be made public.

    FWIW

    Sorry bro, I hate to be the one to tell you this, but I'm not actually a 20 year old super model. I appreciate you paying my rent though.

    Cheers! :grin:

    Well, that's actually how the whole thing started though. PapaG posting the PM's that Further sent him.

    I might be wrong, but I think PapaG has posted PM's I've sent him a number of times. Actually, I know for a fact that he's done it.

    I have no problem with the PM's in this thread being disclosed, for the very reason you stated. Agreed upon by both parties.

    I generally fall on the side of personal responsibility and mutual respect. I wouldn't send a PM that I wouldn't be comfortable with others seeing, and I wouldn't post a PM that the other person wasn't comfortable being made public. But if a general rule were to be instituted, mutual agreement would be my preference.

    I'd be for bringing PapaG back as long as he's also banned from the OT forum permanently. If he wants to talk basketball, let him... but only basketball. Dude gets worked up enough talking Blazers; he'll just flame out again in the OT section.

    Maybe like Mixum where he has to disappear in the off season excluding draft week, summer league, pre-season.

    Hell, I'm practically ready to put myself in that boat too... this OT forum is pure bile, but I get sucked in because it's people I know who are throwing the feces.

    I say we implant PapaG with a user activated device that shocks his anus anytime he offends anyone.

    There should not be a policy regarding PMs. Everybody should assume that anything they type on this site can and will eventually make it's way into the public eye. It is your responsibility to know put things on the internet you don't want others to see. There are no guarantees and certainly this site can't guarantee high security.

    In short, I think the policy should be "use at your own risk".

    I say if someone posts your PM publicly, Denny should give you your money back that you paid to be on this site.

    Out of context, this would make MM's blood pressure go through the roof...

    I agree. It's too hard to police. If a message board is anything like real life, sad fact is that if you tell someone a secret there's no guarantee it won't get out. There's no confidential relationship in sending someone a PM. Let's not act like there is.

    Well, that was supposed to be a reference about her. But no, I felt she was fake from the beginning and had a few posts about the few schmucks tripping all over themselves for "her".

    Out of context or not, I think just seeing it once made his BP go through the roof. He then saw it a second time because you quoted it.....

    Somebody better check on MM.

    This is how I operate. That being said, I also don't post people's PM's on the board.

    I have been secretly forwarding all your PM's to the NSA.
