HN,

I think it's best for private messages to remain private (or at least not posted in its entirety for the whole Internet to see). It's sets a bad precedent as to whether private messages sent to you will remain private. 

Speaking from personal experience, I got a (physical) piece of hate mail from one of my transphobic aunts nearly 2 years ago. It was handwritten, 4-5 pages long, all back-to-back. Do you want to know what I did with it? I didn't share it with anyone. Instead, I burned it at first chance I got. (I imagine that would be the equivalent of deleting online, unwanted private messages). 

I would think a poll would just be that: a gauge as to how the community is feeling about the safety/respect of this forum (perhaps excluding this thread).

Shirazmn, I agree this shouldn't be a popularity contest or struggle to select a ruler of the forum.  Having lots of knowledge/experience on NBE or HRT is beneficial for the forum, but it should not elect anyone to be above the forum's  rules. 

prostatenipple-Agreed, it's a low move to show off someone's (whole) private message like that. I also concur that everyone (who follows the rules and are respectful) do have a place here on Breast Nexum. 

I feel it's quite unfortunate that a thread originally aimed at making/keeping BN a safe space is quickly devolvng into being the polar opposite.
