"A" , the liar is worse. They asked for it.
"B" , the defendant is worse. It's a breach of confidentiality.

[u]Hypothetical[/u] example: Married woman "A" pursues but is rejected by single man "B". Popular scorned woman tells lies in public forum to save her shattered ego, but man has private messages to prove woman is a needy, insecure, obsessed nutcase. Is it a breach of confidentiality if the man defends himself?

Based on the [u]hypothetical[/u] details presented, what Turtlepower said expresses my own thoughts better than I probably could have.

Telling lies about someone is absolutely contemptable, [i]always[/i]. Doing so in a public forum, sure does put one in the position of wanting to defend themselves, and I know I would want to.
The thing is though, "B" could only [b]prove[/b] what is claimed about "A" in this scenario, by posting ALL private messages between both parties.
