In his freepmails he chortles over the agreement as a sprung trap.

Disclosure of freepmails is a violation of FreeRepublic rules. In addition disclosure of private e-mails of any kind are a violation of all internet rules everywhere. You should know better.

In addition, if a subject is forbidden under the agreement, those who have signed on to it should tell anyone posting subjects forbidden under the agreement should be told calmly but firmly that such subjects are not a subject of discussion on the thread and those who signed on to the agreement should refuse to discuss the subject henceforth. To start saying that it is a subject not to be discussed after it has gone on for most of a day and hundreds of posts is not the way to deal with such matters.

Ordinarily I would agree with you that private Freep mails ought not be publicly disclosed. In this case however there is an assertion of a conspiracy which would nullify the agreement altogether, thus it needs to be aired and resolved at once.

False. My own genuine understanding is that any sort of mail is the property of the recipient. Thus, use of freepmails for taunting, extortion, or any duplicitous purpose is likely to blow up in your face. This is as it should be.
