I hadn't posted yet as I have mixed feelings over this.
This situation was equated to the unwritten rule of posting someones picture here today by a fellow moderator. I think that maybe that is a good analogy.
While Suzie did ask Keyser not to tell anyone and to keep it a secret, she also knew that what goes on behind closed doors, usually does not stay behind closed doors for very long here anyways.. She took the risk just by talking to someone on the board.
We have all had fun at others expenses here and I myself find myself to be the butt of the joke on many occassions... At one time it had reached a breaking point and I was losing my temper on a daily basis. I think that maybe I have grown a bit thicker skin but I also feel for Suzie as I know how it feels to be ridiculed as such.
That doesn't necessarily mean Keyser was in the wrong either. How many comedians earn their living cracking jokes about others on a daily basis? It's cruel, but life sucks. Deal with it. Posting their IM conversation was a moral issue. One that Keyser obviously felt was not a morally wrong decision. Again, that does not make it wrong.
I still don't have a real clue as to how I feel and it looks as though most of the board is mixed on how they feel about it as well. It will be interesting to see how it pans out.
