you plainly said you don't understand my thinking and i was apologizing for not thinking the way you do b/c that is obviously the only and best way to think.
I could just empty quote my last post, but I'll ask again. What does having this attitude accomplish?
Someone came out with an idea, we're discussing it, whether you agree or disagree is besides the point, why are you attacking everyone with this sarcastic tone?
Say I have a confidential source who has leaked to me a headliner. Well considering the source, I OBVIOUSLY would never want to publicly share that in the headliner thread.
So instead, I choose 10 people who I trust, and PM them with my information and share it.
That is something you have no control over, dont know about, and frankly shouldnt care about.
But, say I, instead of doing 10 private PMs, I create a private thread and invite those 10 people I trust, and I share the information and discuss it.
^THIS you are against?
Do you see yet how you arent making any sense?

Not to mention sending out the same PM to ten recipients is useless because the second someone opens it, it's marked as 'read' by all the other nine recipients and they'll never even know it was sent.
The thread creator would invite who they wanted in the group/thread. Those who aren't included in the discussion would not get a notification saying "[Thread] was just created. [Creator] did not choose you to post in his/her thread."
Plus I don't think you'd add Phi, so it's a bit of a moot point.
Oddly enough, Phi has made two absolutely STELLAR music recommendations to me in the very recent past. While I find his penchant for .gifs and memes somewhat distracting, he's actually a better poster than he gets credit for.
Postjack and Bonzai both said they're against it. Big deal, they don't like the idea and if the mods rule against it we'll go about our business. If the mods deem it a useful tool, as many people seem to think it could be, then guess what? Life will go on unimpeded as it always has.
I don't understand why you're taking this personally. You don't have to use it, and if it's set up the way I proposed (with mods having the same control over them that they do here), what would be the difference. If someone started a "We hate Flanzo" group, I wouldn't give two flying f*cks, but I'm assuming a mod would shut it down and explain that's not what the private threads/message/whatever-it's-going-to-be-called is for.

Johnny Davis proved the need for private threads.
I'm sure the moderators of the board would also have control of whether it stays private or deleted. If the mods thought something went too far - wouldn't this be under consideration anyway? It's not like a private thread would stop the mods from viewing.
So the only things we should be allowed to discuss on here are things we'd like shared with the whole entire world? Is that your viewpoint? And if we want to discuss something that we'd like kept even remotely private, we need to take it to e-mail?
This is a remarkably closed-off point of view. You, as much as anyone here, know that people have formed friendships and connections on this board, and may find themselves very comfortable having open discussions with other people. So why not enable those people to have a place where they can discuss things in a bit more private manner? Like Horn said, I'd love to talk politics, or mental health, or dr*gs, or yes, even music, with many people on here without fear that someone is going to jump in and clutter up the discussion or worse, use that information in a negative and/or malicious way.
um yes. i said one semi-private story in the sex thread and three years later people still give me shiz about it. i wish i had NEVER posted it. i learned my lesson. if you don't want it out in public, don't post it online.
and as i said before, if you want to do a private forum that is fine with me but no way in hell should specific people be able to pick and chose who gets to post and who doesn't. that is not right.
and maybe nobody should give you shit for it. maybe that's more important to state

stop what??? not agreeing with you? wtf do you want me to say flanzo? get off my nuts already!
i already agreed that a private forum is fine as long as individual members are not being allowed to be holier than thou and pick and chose.

So everytime someone decides to PM someone, rather than make a public post to that person, they are being holier than thou?
phil you can't be serious right. you know you would not get invited to any threads. lol
So instead of replying to my scenario, you resort to this?
Wow you look so bad right now.
Unlike you, I could care less whether or not I get "invited" to any private threads.
actually i already responded to you and you continued to tell me that i did not make sense.
once again, i am so sorry for not agreeing with all of you. of course your opinions are right and we should all just let you do whatever you want to do. what was i thinking even saying anything

So, one of my real concerns about this, is that the public areas of the forum will be barren as quack.
I only recently found out about the private areas of the Coachella board, and honestly it peeved me a bit because I feel like that must be where anything resembling useful information must be hidden.

Give me a break!
sending someone a PRIVATE MESSAGE with PRIVATE information is not the same thing as making threads and excluding people who want to post in them from doing so.
sorry. nothing you can say will convince me otherwise.

Not constructive. I think the point of exclusion has been brought up and addressed. This is the shit that makes me have pause.. and want to log the fuck off. But keep fighting.. someone will find it entertaining.

I want you to act like an adult.
Say you don't like the idea and stop acting like every f*cking time someone proposes an idea that might not involve every single person on inforoo it's a grand boys' club conspiracy against you.
You don't like the idea. In fact, you hate it. Anything else? Any specific reason why you think private information and discussions shouldn't be private?
Phi has grown on me (wtf is this thread turning into? The "Phi is alright" thread?), but am I at a position where I want him having my personal email? No offense Mr. Phil, but we're not there yet. But let's say I want to start a private message about a specific EDM artist that I know nothing about. I want to discuss it with Phi, X, and Y without having 30 people jump into the convo. I can't do that? I'd have to attain their emails, which they may not want me to have, and privately email them all to have that discussion? I don't see how that is any less exclusionary than a private message. Same principle, just more work and a bigger pain in the ass. I should have to go through that process because your feelings will be hurt when you're not invited to private threads you don't even know exist?

How can we be so sure that won't happen here?
But at the same time, private information is shared everyday among members.
Through txt/FB/PMs/etc.
If we want to discuss something privately, we can do it. We'd just like to instead do it via this forum.
Say you don't like the idea and stop acting like every f*cking time someone proposes an idea that might not involve every single person on inforoo it's a grand boys' club conspiracy against you.
seriously that is getting really over played. when did i EVER say anything about a boys club in this thread? seriously, quit putting words in my mouth.
I only recently found out about the private areas of the Coachella board, and honestly it peeved me a bit because I feel like that must be where anything resembling useful information must be hidden.
I don't see any argument to the small net approach, like what Phi said with the 10 people pm example, but what really brought this to light was the Artist Direct Confirmations thread being widely exposed, a thread like that would next to impossible to pick and choose. And then we're basically back at square 1 again.
