Nataly 38 #76 January 21, 2010 QuoteHitting back publicly would be actually outing the sender, that's not what was done. This is an indirect weaselly sort of attack IMO. [...] If you're gonna drag someone through the mud, do it directly. Agree partially.. Just that outing the person directly is a more full-on smack in the face whereas a mild indirect rebuff is a bit of a slap on the wrist..

Squeak 17 #77 January 21, 2010 Quote Quote ...what's wrong with posting anything as long as the originator is not identified? Because most "regulars" probably know who sent it because they've seen the posts made and know who's pissed off who recently. Anyone else could just read back a few days posts or so of the person that received the PM and have a good idea who it might be or at least be able to narrow it down. Just because the name isn't provided in the thread, it's damn sure not anonymous. And so it shouldn't be, grow the fuck up and dont send petulant immature PMs like that and you can bet they wont be posted openly.You are not now, nor will you ever be, good enough to not die in this sport (Sparky) My Life ROCKS!

Depends on whether you like to go for the jugular or whether you prefer to give a gentle "warning".. My guess is it has more to do with forum rules regarding PA's and trolling then going gentle. Weasel attackers generally know just to what they can get away with and set it up so for any sort of direct rebuttal the other party would be forced to break forum rules. Weasels don't attack their own kind either. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

popsjumper 2 #81 January 21, 2010 Quote ...But the receiver of the message has absolutely no obligation to keep said message anonymous.. Listen.. If you attack someone privately, there's nothing saying that person shouldn't hit back publicly.. It's called Net Etiquette. Quote Besides.. You just said something to piss the person off - in my book public humiliation is fair play!! It's not necessarily what I would do, but what the hell do you expect?! A little maturity, maybe? I'm just sayin' Quote Bottom line is if you don't want something you said to be repeated - don't fucking say it in the first place!!! How many of us are guilty of that? Quote ...squeek can do whatever the hell he wants with *his* messages! (Even if it is considered slightly "uncool".) Amen sistah! Tell it!

Squeak 17 #83 January 21, 2010 Quote Quote I agree don't say things you don't want repeated but if one is gonna go public with a PM they received at least have the balls to say who it's from so that person can respond in kind. If you're gonna drag someone through the mud, do it directly. I didnt think that it would ne necessary to say directly who it was who sent it as it was pretty apparent to most. I was also mostly announcing my beer PM Attack. but rest assured if you send me shit like that expect it to be posted here, and for the sake of Bolas and his ilk, if i do get anymore from anyone I'll cite them with full references for youYou are not now, nor will you ever be, good enough to not die in this sport (Sparky) My Life ROCKS!

Nataly 38 #92 January 21, 2010 Quote Weasel attackers generally know just to what they can get away with and set it up so for any sort of direct rebuttal the other party would be forced to break forum rules. Well, technically Squeak only repeated what was said to him.. If the PM-attacker ends up looking like a knob it's purely on the basis of what he said.. So if he didn't want to come off looking like a numpty he should have worded the PM a little differently.. (Or not sent it at all.) Was it immature for the PM-attacker to send that nastygram? Probably. Was it immature of Squeak to post the PM on here? Probably. Was it immature for all of us to laugh at it? Most definitely!! At the end of the day, if you post (or PM) on here, you open yourself up to daily ridicule - anyone who is a regular here should know that by now!!
