I think if the Net54 rule has always been that emails are private, then PMs should be private as well. However, I don't particularly like this decision / thread being spawned because of a likely complaint by a Net54 advertiser. At least the perception of this is that the tail is wagging the dog which doesn't sit well with me.

This thread was in fact spawned by the Goldin thread but not for ONLY this thread. That being said this rule probably should have been implemented the same day the "no posting of emails" rule was put in place. Hobby changes and board changes are evolutionary imho. As far as not liking something....join the crowd

.

And more than anything Peter is correct and I will allow him to post our emails if he wants to, to prove it.... it was definitely our emails more than the exact thread that warranted this new thread/rule......

This was posted on the main forum, card side, but I want everyone here to see it too. I copied this and have never copied a Poll before....so we will have to see how this works out.

Although I voted that PMs should be kept "Private," in one instance I was happy that TyrusRCobb posted a PM he received from another Net54 member in reference to me.

I agree about not posting PM's. When it gets to a point that I feel I need to post something that was intended to be private, then it means my efforts to diffuse the situation have failed and I need to just ignore the person. So far this has worked well, but I understand that everyone is different.

On other forums I've seen the posting of PM's, chat logs, emails turn forums into a pathetic battleground. In two cases I've seen (or heard of) HOBBYISTS from such battles actually meet in person, and the result was time in jail. Everyone would agree that the thrill of expressing your anger to someone who you have no respect for is certainly not worth going to jail. Is it even worth the angst that you end up feeling for a moment, or hours, or days?

The crap going on in real life, is enough crap.

Who could possibly have sent that PM to Tyrus about Chris?
