It's one of those netiquette things. Someone posed a question in email, and really, we shouldn't be discussing something someone wanted to remain private on an open board.
River: You're not right, Early. You're not righteous. You've got issues. Early: No. Oh, yes, I could have that. You might have me figured out, then. Good job. I'm not 100%.

Firefly 4: Also, we can kill you with our brains
Discussion of the Mutant Enemy series, Firefly, the ensuing movie Serenity, and other projects in that universe. Like the other show threads, anything broadcast in the US is fine; spoilers are verboten and will be deleted if found.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
Well, I would actually like to her your thoughts on it. Everybody has a different perspective on these things, I don't know what yours is.
I was joking here, though, I didn't actually know if you'd seen it yet.

That's not what they said, as far as I read it - they said they didn't want to post the announcement thing on any forums yet. I haven't. Also, I'm not egging them on, Allyson.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
ok, so I am adding the as yet unwritten "do not discuss things from backchannel" etiquette point to the list of things to add to the etiquette page.
Just like we don't tell people when we block them, we don't bring up things from backchannel unless everyone involved in said backchannel agrees.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix
To address this in the most general sense: One does not repost private correspondence in a public arena. This is not a rule of etiquette specific to Buffistas, or LJ, or even the internet. I've been on mailing lists where forwarding mail offlist was a banning offense, even lists of 200+.

Aye. I emailed the fellow to ask him if he minded me bringing it up here. If he minds, I will apologise to him.
I should point out, by the way, I didn't actually mention the email. I very very vaguely mentioned the concept. I didn't accuse anybody of anything, nor did I label anybody rude. I also know the sender. I do not think there will be the remotest problem with the discussion of it.

Aside from the part where the people you want to discuss it with, don't want to discuss it?

Well yes, there is that.
