DL, here....I have a Mod...with a brain.
Doesn't it make sense that you can't humiliate people without their consent by posting THEIR "Private Messages",......but if they intruded upon your life, by Pm-ing YOU, well, any combination of words you ever invented is owned solely by "Y.O.U." whether that soup of words was directed at an individual or not?
So as long as you don't say anything that'll specifically compromise the privacy of the person who PM'ed you?, you're more than free (especially in AMERICA) to post.....if you will,...."quote" things that you've said before....whether you were posting, responding to an idiot, composing a grocery list, or what-have-you?
That one blows my head off.
Like, sorry Hype-Nazis, but if I just got back from the store and told a homeless woman to let go of my butt.......
well SURE, if that homeless woman was Holly, it wouldn't be right to post: "Holly just grabbed my but and said "I need what you're packin'!"
But it would totally be within my rights, as an established poster on the Hype, to say, "I just told this leathery hag who grabbed my ass to go to Hell."
Wouldn't it?
It's nut-ball!
