If you assumed I would get used to send you personal messages you judged
me prematurely. Forwarding a private message to the list and showing me
up is not ethical, I take your action by some kind of unnecessary
threaten. Just telling me you don't want a private message is enough to
me not doing it anymore, I would forward myself my message to the list
if you kindly advised me to do it. In any case it's my message, my
decision. Indeed your punishment will have the expected effect.

Note the semicolon after the "Why?". Please read carefully what I
