So what you are saying now is that if I felt that I was the victim of an abusive PM then I was not obliged to keep it "secret", right? The people I showed the PM to agreed that it was abusive and also confirmed that it was sexual in nature. They stated this in public.

you can report it to the site owner, you will now tell us why in fact you needed to show it to others who have no power and no jurisdiction to do anything on your behalf? calling you out for inappropriate attention and unsavory designs is not sexual, he really is not gay and really is not interested in your special attention.

I showed the PM to others so that they could see what kind of sexual comments and threats he had made in it.

it was none of their concern for they had no power to do anything to act on your behalf and in fact i allege that you showed it to them merely as a tool to propagandize, in fact if you were serious you could have immediately reported it to the site owners as Galveston may have done with regard to your unsavory designs, but you did not, you choose rather to propagandize the affair blowing it out of all proportions.

I had no obligation to keep galveston75's behaviour "secret". And it was the "concern" of anyone who debates with him. I asked each person in advance if they wanted to see it or not ~ before sending it to them. So they had the choice of whether or not they wanted to see the nature of the sexual comments and threats galveston75 included in his PM.

Calling you out for inappropriate attention and telling you that he was not interested in you as he was not gay is of no concern to anyone, again i repeat it, if you had really thought that the matter was so serious you could have taken it to the site owners who actually have some power to take action but you did not and instead you choose to utilize it as a tool of propaganda. You cannot be trusted FMF to keep a matter confidential nor to accurately portray a matter.

If galveston75 thought he was being harassed by a homosexual stalker [in public, lest we forget the scenario you are alleging] why didn't he report it to the site owner?

As far as I can recollect, he may have, as I was not party to this little episode and my recollection is vague I cannot say with any certainty whether he did or did not although I suspect that he did for your friend that drooler Properknob has used the incident to allege that I am a 'grass', when I have stated that I am not a 'grass'. Was this not the infamous attempt to have you banned? if it was it would be quite hard to get you banned without having contacted the site owners, don't you think?

The "matter" was an abusive, threatening PM infused with some kind of odd seething sexual anger. I was under no obligation whatsoever to keep such a thing "confidential". More than a dozen people saw it and read it. There is nothing at all amiss about how I have portrayed it.

You claimed to be fully aware of what he was doing at the time. The thread can be dug out easily. He didn't report me for alleged homosexual stalking [in public] but for showing his abusive threatening PM to people without his permission. You said at the time that you also thought I should be banned from the web site.

stating that someone is not gay and has no interest in you is neither seething angry or abusive, in fact, its almost matter of fact.

Perhaps I did, who can say, but a lot of water has traversed under the bridge since then, is not propagandizing a private correspondence a violation of the terms of service? I would not really want to see you banned FMF, what kind of vindictive person do you take me for? and if yuo are going to enage in what is termed, 'retrospective trolling', that is dragging matters up from the past I don't see of what benefit it can bring.

The PM was seething, angry, it made accusations of stalking, it suggested that I was a homosexual "pervert" chasing after him, and it threatened that he would make every effort to get me banned from the web site, and that he had done this with "many people" before me. At least a dozen of your fellow posters have seen it and read it.

You and galveston75 stated that you were trying to get me banned at that time. I seem to recall other posters raising this fact with you several times after it became clear that the web site had decided your case had no merits.

then perhaps you should refrain from showing people more than the usual attention and they will not be liable to construe your attention as inappropriate. Refrain from badgering them and they will not get upset.
