U2U warning


Just a friendly warning---there are people on this board who will and do forward private U2Us to others.

They do not see them as private messages.

Oh, and I have no intention of debating this----it is just a heads-up.

Too bad people do this but the same goes with emails not cc to others and the one your emailing cc everyone, JUST BAD BAD. Even if the email has no controversy it just should not happen. Later, "NO Hurry, No Worry, Just Fun" bajafun777

Just so you will know---------you all are free to forward any u2u or e-mail that I might send to you in the future.

I don't write things that are secrets.

why would you think that just because it is an U2U message that the person wouldn't share it with others? If it was something you didn't want shared, maybe you should not have told them to begin with.

Sorry, that's just plain wrong. It is U2U for a reason and should never be shared without permission.

You have to say, "Off the record" and hope your wish is respected. That said...why would anybody be having a private conversation with anyone if they weren't sure their privacy would be respected. The U2U place isn't a confessional.

OK, Diana...let's hear it. Who outed you? Tell us everything. :biggrin:

I have to agree with DENNIS on this one, if you don't want something repeated, then don't say it in a U2U.

Oh come on! The whole idea of a U2U is personal communications. However I suppose that "personal communications" could mean, to some, any person you wish to pass it on to. I'm with Diana on this. If some one gives you a note, I believe it is implied that it is between the two of you. Otherwise you'd use the chalkboard.

I agree that it is implied that the message is only for the person receiving it but when someone uses u2u to make a personal insult or derogatory remark to someone all bets are off. ANYTHING that you type and send via computer can end up being viewed by the rest of the world.

If you don't want any possibility of what you are going to say repeated.....well, you know......dt

Sadly in this day and age everything written and most of what you say is subject to being public information.

This is especially true of the internet.

I would still be upset like Diana if it happened to me here with a U2U.

This was just a heads up----but from the discussion, it does show that there are many opinions about U2Us----.

And for the few people who sent me u2us about this, those u2us are now on facebook, twitter, myspace, buzz, and used as examples in Wikipedia. :biggrin:

Live a life that you can control. If you give up that control, expect anything and everything.
You are in charge of it all, and if you continue to blame others for your actions, you are a pathetic loser.
Don't say that others, to whom you have sent messages, are culpable of anything. It is YOU who violated your sense of privacy by sharing your secret.

Keep your effing sensitive thoughts to yourself.
