tis called 'inmail' actually, though the name isn't relevant....

there is no expectation of privacy in the first place...

Did he post this publically? No! did he expect her to post it publically? No!

Therefore Private

if she'd walked past you in the street one lunchtime and you made a comment to her along those lines and she rebuffed you you can't reasonably expect that she isn't going to share details of your 'private' conversation with people in the office, friends etc..

This case quite clearly out in public where others would hear so yes in this instance you are correct!

and they get in trouble if the party they've admonished takes exception and possibly legal action if they are justified in doing so publishing law has been made quite clear on this.

an unsolicited message/comment from a complete stranger isn't in any way confidential...

that is completely unrelated though - sharing confidential material is rather different to sharing a comment from a random stranger

If sent through private means and not publically availiable then yes it is private and you need to seek permission form the other party to publish it and make it availiable to the public legally technically she's already commited a crime and if the guy was anywhere near as vindictive as she appers then he'd be well within his rights to take it up with the authorities.

I'm not talking about others overhearing though and the principle is still the same

you'll have to give a relevant example here?

what law has she broken by publishing an unsolicited linkedin inmail?

Successful yet slimy older married male makes laughably poor attempt at flirting with twenty something successful, non-slimy lady in a very public way, gets called on it and GD blames the woman.

I did not see that coming.

She was the one who made it public, it was originally just a private message he sent to her and although his comment was inappropriate, its not reasonable to say its any more than that.

It seems the majority of GD is calling her out for how she handled it and in my opinion they are right to do so. She should have just sent him a PM back saying his comment was inappropriate and left it at that but in trying to make an example of him she only showed herself up.

We don't even know he was flirting, he may have just been paying her a compliment, only he can shed light on the motives for sending it. I can't have been the only guy who's complimented a womans appearance without any ulterior motives.
 
Already one of the biggest uk practices has announced she and he practice won't be getting any briefs from them.

Was he not replying to a message?

I like the way she he is trying to almost brand him as some old man looking for some humpy humpy time - "Think twice before sending another woman (half your age)"

Edit: I read the above, as, you are a pervert.
 
Mr Carter-Silk obviously has incredibly bad taste.

Real bad un', feminist, and most probably a lesbian? Yeah, bad choice.

I notice the Daily Mail hasn't managed to find one man that Alexander Carter-Silk messaged in a similar way - that would certainly suggest that it is very much because she's a woman, no?

Or just maybe Alexander Carter-Silk hasn't seen another photo as stunning as this one and therefore hasnt had the need to comment?

Oddly, I did wonder, if indeed he would suggest it was a statement of fact. Not a veiled compliment. ho hum, I don't remotely care how offended barristers get via email, the world has sufficient other problems.
 
Best stick to internet dating, at least there everyone has the expectation of meeting someone. Why bother complimenting or asking someone out in person when you risk this kind of nonsense reaction.
 
I still think he was commenting on the nice picture not about her actual looks. But she's a stuck up whingey cow that probably hasn't ever received a compliment.

She just is a little frigid, I'm sure a good sesh will sort her right out... however from this thread I don't see there being many volunteers! :D
 
OP's first quote matches this:
Miss Proudman, who is studying at Cambridge for a doctorate in Law and Sociology, specialising in legal methods of combating FGM, is an associate tenant at the chambers of the criminal defence barrister Michael Mansfield QC.

Whilst I do see FGM as wrong - she's simply drawing attention to the issue by saying "How'd you like you bits slided up?" and obviously thinks all men don't see it as wrong.

If you split the issue of FGM away from the style of delivery - the way she delivers is to get a response. The problem is that the method of delivery desensitises people over time.. she is then forced to escalate to maintain the same level of response.

It's not the first time that someone has made advances over email.. according to the news MPs have been visiting dodgy sites recently! Oh - and I have emails saying that I have fat fingers and the later in the conversation that she'd been looking at my package... that's nothing compared to having breasts balanced on my arm deliberately whilst at my desk.

If it causes a problem - state it.. make it know it causes a problem.. I personally just leave it and carry on. Only if it appears to be causing a problem with regard to being selected for promotion etc will I make a point about it.

nah he qualified the comment with 'I appreciate this is probably horrendously politically incorrect'
