[Mrs. Don-o]

My understanding is when you discuss another FReeper you include him/her with a courtesy ping.

I think you can see the reason for that: to avoid the sort of behind-their-back ridicule which soon causes a discussion forum to devolve into a Mean Gurlz clique. ("Gurlz" of any gender identity.)

If someone can reduce this to a nullity just by by being coy about naming, the whole goal of reasonable common courtesy vanishes.

We should expect more from each other.

And do you have a link to this rule, that I can read?

So do you believe this should apply to pm communications, as well?
