It's par for the course with message board forums. Nobody's information is sacred online, even if the community guidelines state that it is. I have personal experience with being gossiped about behind-the-scenes. It was so bad, I was bullied by multiple forum members to the point where some sicko got my real name and phone number and address and contacted me several times, revealing their forum identity to me.

If you have evidence of someone betraying you, then you should forward it to a moderator here. But it's rather naive to believe that anyone's PM's here are sacred. It's why my PM is turned off. I don't trust anyone here.

Forgive me if I'm off base, but by reading your post it sounds like you might be experiencing a degree of paranoia

I also sense some paranoia in that post

I’d never share any PMs, even if I got any and knew more people here on a more personal basis. I know what it’s like having personal information shared with the wrong people (not along the lines of sick minded people getting my real name, but a bio sibling being given my details to help them locate me, when they were meant to be confidential and they weren’t allowed to know where/who I was), so I am really sorry for anyone who has had this happen, no matter how minor the consequences ended up being.

Not a chance.

And this is definitely no lie.

And if I may... I HATE when anyone insists that "everyone" does a given thing. It is simply not true and bothers me so much because it is like denying that I exist.

(It's not the first, nor will it be the last time such an "everyone does such and such" position is forwarded, but as long as it came up, I was going there. Also ran into a different one recently that was in a book. Ticked me off, it did.)

I can appreciate that you have been stung in the past by something like this. But it's simply not true and I would say most of us do not do such a thing. If you were being gossiped report it. And you feel like Someone Happened to shares Your posts should also report it. I do not lie and I did not share PM's with anybody. How can you possibly form form a relationship if that's what you were doing. And it will definitely get back to the person that you are sharing about.
