If a forum is labeled as "Private" and only certain members have access, then it's obvious that this information is not public and the information and opinions are not intended to be shared with the entire community or other communities. There are several hundred merchants, most of which feel that the information and opinions they share in the "Private" Merchants forum are truly private and will not be posted in a public forum. The fact that a select few of you have no respect for the confidentiality of this information as well as betray the confidence of fellow merchants just further substantiates the new policies that have been put into effect as of late. One would think that adults would be able to differentiate between Private and Public without having someone hold your hand and walk you through Common Sense 101. Unfortunately, bshafer seems to be one of the few, if not the only one, demonstrating any common sense in this thread. Furthermore, we are not to blame nor are we liable for the presence of art galleries, free stuff, etc., if an individual chooses to use poor judgment which causes them in turn to get banned. I suggest everyone exercise a little common sense and act like adults instead of arguing just for the sake of argument. Otherwise, there will be no need to waste time addressing any further comments.
