... the AIM conversation would seem to be along the lines of me giving a board member my phone number, and then that person posting my phone number to everyone else....
...a certain degree of trust was involved, and that trust was betrayed...
...with regards to the chatroom, to say things in chat is to trust everyone in the room, which seems to be basically the public domain in the board's case... things that she said, while they might have been serious, were taken lightly, as per usual. According to chat, I've slept with Sleeper and Gonzo, along with numerous women, and I have a really really large penis. This is information that I have allowed for the chatting public to have.
But once a private IM conversation takes place, there is reason for it; so that both parties can speak in private.
