The Private Message
A friend sends you a cruel message about someone you both know. Seconds later, they delete it and ask you to forget you saw it. The person they wrote about trusts them completely.
Do you tell the person what was said?
Then ask
- Would your answer change if the message revealed a plan to embarrass them?
- What if it seemed like a burst of anger rather than a settled opinion?
- Does seeing a deleted message make it yours to act on?
The classics and some new ones. A scenario, the question it forces, and the follow-ups that make it bite.
