Forum etiquette

Forward them to me, divegeester. And I'll then tell galveston75 whether he needs to retract his accusation or not.

You have no legal or moral right to any private messages except those which were directly sent to you by an originator and if your partner in crime, divesgeester meow meow insists on forwarding them, then he is morally corrupt for doing so. They are termed private messages for a reason.

Indeed sometimes I simply cannot be bothered replying as i got mega other stuff to do, no one is under any compulsion to say anything, next we shall be receiving subpoenas and divesgeester will be pacing up and down shining ligh ...[text shortened]... ester as Rosco Peeko and Bourbaki as Boss Hogg. Some people simply take themselves too serious.

beauroberts I presume is Batgirl?

Give him your permission to publish them in public. If as, he claims, your PMs trolled him over the sickness in his family, then he should be eager to let people see them and prove that you've been lying. Tell him he can post them here.

He has my permission.

Divegeester can of course show me whatever messages he sent to galveston75 if he wants to. I have "no legal or moral right" to force divegeester to do so. But he can just show me if he wants.

I think divesgeester should give galveston75 permission to publish these supposedly "trolling" PMs.

As a side point of interest, do you think it worse forum etiquette to forward a PM to a third party, or to use the [real] sickness of a relative as an excuse to not respond to questions directed to you in a thread?

yes if he is the originator of the text but he cannot show you any private correspondence that he has received from the Gman which means that your ability to judge, if you had any authority at the outset other than your self appointment is severely impaired, for you know only half of what was said.

divesgeester: He has my permission.

OK. I see divesgeester now has.

So galveston75 can show these PMs supposedly "trolling" him about health problems in his family.

We are talking about divesgeester telling us what he wrote in his PMs and whether galveston75 is telling the truth about their content.

I have had some conversations with beauroberts over a couple of games and on first impressions I have found him to be polite, moderate and open. He told me that he had challenged/been challenged the JW leadership over the doctrine of *Jesus being the angel Michael.

*Of course this was exchanged in a game chat and so he may choose to call me on repeating it here. It was not passed as confidential in any way, but if he does take exception I shall be more than happy to publicly apologise.

is it good forum etiquette to reveal the details of private messages which are none of your business other than that you have made it your affair? i don't think so and yet here you are fomenting just that, ouch that gotta hurt. Is it not good etiquette to mind ones own business?

Beauroberts spoke about it in public on the "Praying Through Jesus not To Jesus" thread.

But I think you do find what I post interesting or you wouldn't get your panties in such a twist over it. It is more likely and more accurate to say that you don't like it rather than you are not interested.

are you, perhaps i should read his texts more, either way, you are still concerning yourself with what is none of your business. Infact I would like to know how it came to be your business?

Ah, thank you for pointing that out Nick I was feeling a pang of guilt there for a moment.
