When a ABer is happy to divulge information about themselves and family circumstances and they are reminded of such posts in future threads can a extra rule be inserted that the original poster has no comeback if that reminder may cause embarassment due to a new thread where their past is bought back to them. i.e. If I disclose on a public forum that my son has joined the armed forces then I cannot press the report button and complain if another ABer broaches the subject at a later date and I complain of a personal attack.Boy does it happen and it isn't funny because the information that is freely given comes back to bite them and the Aber gets a suspension It is not personal. It refers back to an original thread.

JTH // that he will be making reference to previously disclosed information and that he expects to receive no censure for doing so..// This is a public forum. The information is given by the poster freely, and it is up to them to decide if they want to share it with the world. If you write personal information or feelings on a public website then you have to expect...

I'm glad some people have managed to decode this because I certainly cannot. I am condemned to dwell in perpetual ignorance.
Retrocop, surely the obvious answer is whether you are using the information to make a personal attack? If you are referring back to something to try to help someone, there is no reason to complain. But making personal attacks, no matter where you find the information, would be just spite.
I'll join jackdaw. :-(
Simple! Stop revealing as much about your private lives on a public site . It's all too easy to build a profile of people these days by what they post on Social Media.
I don't know... possibly trying to justify the vitriol here

Question Author
I have reported my Post and have respectfully requested this post to be removed.Too many wrong assumptions have been made and fingers pointed.
Well played sir, well played. Excellent triangulation, which leads to questions in itself :)
I like to wear my wife's underwear whilst doing my weekly grocery shop. You can all squirrel that nugget away for future personal attack...
Don't think you can get away with it that easily, retro :P
Well, I've managed to work out who the 'bête-noire' is. Quelle surprise -not.
Can I respectfully request the post stays. Just so, you know, we can reference it in future?
This thread has now been closed. This is due to the fact its original question has been answered and the thread has now deteriorated.
