    Are we allowed to curse people out in private messages?

    I know that when you do it on a open forum its considered "attacking / harrassing"

    But if someone pisses you off Via PM,

    Can you respond with curses and such with out being banned, shammed, banished etc?

    Curious on this one.................

    If they forward your PM to a mod, you'll receive an infraction. :D

    You should be professional, regardless if it's public/private. Why waste your time with kids?

    What happens if someone calls my Mum a Whore?

    I can't respond with ,

    "Well, actually tell your dad, The reason his back has been hurting is because I left my wallet under the bed when I was banging your Mum "

    Would that be ok?

    Although that line is extremely hilarious and rep worthy :D:D:D...... no, he will just forward it to a mod and leave out what he said.

    Just forward what he said to a mod.
