I didn't say it was their fault for not saying something. I said I was surprised. I am not going to get all blame-y and I do not want it to be taken that way but at minimum Tazz and Tracey were both active in the mess threads and could have cleared up the specific PM issue at any time, just so people totally unrelated to the actual argument would not be worried about it.
No forum collective would want its members to think their PMs were being read and I dunno, laughed at by the mods. In any case, no matter, Diane has already said she can't read PMs and by extension neither can the other moderators.
What gets people thinking other people can read their PMs is that most people just truly don't have a grasp of the interconnected relationships and the nature of how FAST gossip travels. Not just here, it happens on all forums. MUM is right, nothing you say on the internet is private. But the spreading of your "personal" information most, if not all, of the time is not from sinister mods reading your stuff, it's from the person you told telling someone else. This is aaaallllll just a big game of Telephone. Everywhere there are people who just can't WAIT to be done talking to you so they can tell someone else that personal thing you just shared.[/QUOTE]
Exactly Kathy - one of my favorite things I say is "If you don't want it broadcasted on the 5 o'clock news, don't say it!"
what do you think about it? still haven't figured out your favorite band.
