User blog comment:RePeat/Community Poll on Message Walls/@comment-18933973-20130624000420

It's about time we get a poll! :D

...

Anyways, I vote no. There's really no privacy. Message walls are direct messages to a single user, not a whole group. I have seen multiple message wall messages that have more than 2 different users posting on it. Not only that, but because someone overheard/overread a conversation with someone else, they almost retired. Had they not had seen the giant message show up in recent wiki activity, there wouldn't have been as much drama on that message wall if it were on Talk Pages.

I've read someone say, "Private messages on chat are for discussions between two users." What if one of those users are banned, and there's no way to privately talk to them other than on Message Walls? What if you don't have enough time to sit on chat and wait for them?

There. :3
