Slow your roll dude.
I simply asked why we can not speak freely in a PM. (to another adult)

I really did not think this had to be explained.
The bulletin board software has no idea who you are talking to. Whether it is a PM or a post. It is just the way the board is written. Something we have no control over.
To have a filter means it all gets filtered.
Truth is many people think they can abuse someone using the PM system, and they try. Another truth is, it is software who has no idea who you are or who you are talking to.
Now, the reason the filter exists at all is use to a couple of reasons.
1) It helps stop the stupid angry person from making a fool of themselves or saying something they can never recover from.
2) It helps stop the troll who would post derogatory things just to be disruptive.
This is our place of business. We do not want the reputation of being a business which allows abusive behavior to take place.
