I think it's safe to say that no one is lying. Someone misunderstood something, either jessica. or the mod she communicated with about this (it doesn't particularly matter who), and now arn has cleared it up.
I can't for the life of me see why anyone would have any motivation to lie about this.
I found the e-mail and it states specifically, "we can read PMs as well." There is no misunderstanding on my part. The mod, who has proven to be less than stellar in terms of ethics as is, is clearly a liar. It would be easy to just write me off as incapable of reading simple English but that is simply not the case here.
It is hard to see why you can't see why someone would lie about something like this, really.

Need I point out the obvious qualifier that says ‘if so’?
Or would that merely compound the level of prissy pedantry around here?
I think you'd be surprised at what has been said at times. But, be that as it may, I was responding to jess, a pal of mine. Thanks for your contribution.
Thank you. I think it is clear that it is a lie. It won't change my more protective behavior in PMs at all, but apparently the modsquad has gathered and spoken. If it were true I don't believe it would be entirely public all the same so I am not surprised about the sudden defenses.
