Well, posting them is against FR rules and netiquette, but other than that, oh well.
As for ruining a career, was the info true or not?
I don't know if the politican in question was having an affair.
Steffin lost his job....because of what happened..
Wow.
Send me a freepmail I'll then post it in the open.....and then I'll have a reporter write a story based on that freepmail....then you lose your job.
Wonder if you will still be saying...Oh Well.
Against FR rules? Netiquette? You're kidding, right?
The weak of mind and spirit or the outright malicious love private replies, since those allow them unfettered license to say anything. I reject most of them.
If someone can't make a statement in the open forum, specially critical ones about anyone, I'm ignoring them. Without exception.
As for divulging them in open forum, I do it every opportunity I get! Why should the rats get special leverage? If they want confidentiality, they should go to confession.
You need to get up to speed on the story so that you can ask the right question. Your question is like the old "did you walk to work or carry your lunch?"
