a moral question
 
If someone tells you summat, its not really confidential, but its about them, their personal life or of that nature, do you think it is acceptable to pass that info on to a third party, would you like it done to you.

I was going to do a poll, but thats too easy!

Yeah if it's not confidential you can tell your best friend...but if it is confidential then you tell everyone...'cos you can't keep it to yourself !! :rofl:

I think you always know if you're being told something in confidence.

It's never acceptable to pass anything on that was clearly not intended for general consumption.

I'm the "worst" non-gossiper - tell me something and I'll take it to the grave. Maybe that's why people trust me in that way.

I wouldn't pass anything on. It could come back to bite you at some point.

Except, sadly, I'm not a very moral person ;).
