"private" message rules?
I can't seem to find the rules for behavior on the "private" message section?
I always thought you could say what you wanted on it as it was a "private" message that the public could not see. When ever things get a little hot on a thread the Mods suggest that guys should take their arguments to "private" messages.
I got overly upset with a certian person and used the F word a couple times in a "private" message to that person. Then later I sent them a "private" message and appologized. Not sure the timing of their actions but they forward the F word "private" message to a mod, who gave me a warning for the F word in a "private" message.
So just a heads up, if you say certian things on the board you will get a warning or a suspention. If you say the same in a "private" message you could get the same.
Again where are the "private message rules?

Seems strange that a person would curse at someone in a "private" message and then complain about the consequences. I'm not sure why anyone would think that "private" message means the rules of common deceny and courtesy go out the window and you can say whatever you want to another member of the forum. I'm really not sure why anyone would need "rules" to be able to come to that conclusion.

Sorry Duff but I would also have to agree with that. We all still need to be respectful no matter where we are communicating.

Whatever you type on the keyboard you are accountable for.......it's like a video recording or audio recording.......you never know where it's going to appear................or even worse.....to whom it will appear or when it will appear........just like the vid of the SK MP in so much hot water.......17 years after the fact. Pm's are good................but I still won't say anything in a pm that I wouldn't say in public.

I worked the back end of the ABA forum for years. PM's are about as private as change clothes in a glass phone booth.

We don't need more "Rules"  , we just need to try to be civil at all times. There should be nothing in a bulletin board hunting discussion that should have people dropping F-Bombs on each other. So you disagree with my stand on poaching, gun registration, which caliber is best, whatever... big deal.
Glad you apologized though. I use pm's almost exclusively for the many apologies I have had to issue LOL

I think we should be able to post any PM we receive. If you lack the nads to post it on the board, I honestly am not going to respect a pm.

The only reason I PM is so I can swear.
I tend not to feel comfortable around people that dont curse

Boy if swearing gets you a "warning" I have a list of PMs that I have recieved that would get a guy the death sentance.
I have recieved threats, I have recieved insinuations that this guy knew where I lived... The personal shots have just been outstanding, I had one guy send me something about my wife... The list goes on. Only one time have I reported a PM to a mod.
Lets grow up people, a bit of swearing behind closed doors hurts no one. Dont waste the mods time with this crap.

I feel your pain Robin. Many is the number of times I have had my scholarly opinions regarding the superiority of single shot and black powder firearms ridiculed by the unwashed ignoramii of the foolish firearm forum folk.
But the truth of it is that while many of these guys are unable to appreciate the greatness of their intellectual and ballistic betters, they are pretty much all good fellas and more than a few of them are darned good shooters and fishermen. You will see that in spades when ya meet a few of them at the various turkey shoots or at the range.

i disagree...a verbal attack is not acceptable in my books. swearing between friends..sure that causes no harm..but a verbal attack is something different and i do think it is reportable. just my opinion though.

I agree with most of you above that one (I) should not resort to cussing at a fellow member. And that is why I appologised to the fellow:
I got overly upset with a certian person and used the F word a couple times in a "private" message to that person. Then later I sent them a "private" message and appologized. Not sure the timing of their actions but they forward the F word "private" message to a mod, who gave me a warning for the F word in a "private" message.
Sorry
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'd like to appologize for the message I sent the other day. I am usually a lot more tolerant and do not say that sort of thing to anyone. I was frusterated by some other situations with some other people and ended up taking out my anger on you.
I am glad I could send you this before you responded as I was expecting bad things to come back from you.
Have a good day.
I really do not feel using the F word once in awhile is so bad. It is certianly a word with some power to express extreme emotion if used in the right place and not exessivley.
However i still think it is odd that I got a warning for saying something in a place that I thought I was free to say things with a little more passion than we are allowed to say on the board itself.
I would not say what I did in the PM on the board Lazy ike, because it is against the rules. The person I cussed at chose to go to the mod and complain rather than talk to me about it.
As I said to the person and to the mod, it will not happen again.

I was always told if you need to swear to strengthen your point your point probably is not that strong!.
Swearing is a sign of frustration. in a discussion if I can other person to resort to swearing i have proven my point
Swearing is a sign of a lack of a vocabulary
In negotiations any sign of frustration is weakness!.... swearing is a sign of weakness and lack of discipline!...
I ran a framing crew whoever swore first in the day had to buy breakfast the next day. the second person that swore bought lunch!... third person bought supper!...and so on!...
Of course we never told the new guys about the rules till after they swore the first time. Do you know how many times we were complimented for not being mindless swearing morons!....
One other thing I used to do. In another job if a salesman come in and their tie was tied wrong or they swore we kept talking to them and walked up with a pair of scisors and cut off their tie!... then tacked it to the ceiling!....
We had a collection of over 100 ties after one summer!... It was fun!...
That being said... I have a very bad habit of swearing and when I hear it it is contagious... SO i appreciatte folks who don't swear!...
One last thing I have never heard someone complain about someone not swearing!...

The F word can be used in many ways. It can be used to emphasize a point. (you f'in bet) or it can be an action, (I'm sure you can picture that), it can be used in celebration (f'n eh) or in disappointment (ah f). All or most are acceptable (generally) in non-mixed company (men). When it is used as a derogatory statement (f'n idiot) that is where it may cross the line.
How did you use it?

this has to be a joke..
someone went whining to the mods about a couple a swear word in a pm?
that someone needs to grow up and get over themselves, thats what the delete and ignore buttons are for.
threats and harrasment is different and should be reported
it just like elementary school im sure everyone had that one kid who would go to teacher and tell everytime someone swore
