I've always wondered about this one and have seen mods rule differently on it over the years. You're right, simple answers are often not clear. So here's the deal, and it's the definitive ruling.
Obviously revealing or specifically referring to other's ROS or other Private content is a violation of Guideline#20.
In regards to discussing/quoting/reiterating
your own posts that were private but you now choose to make public, you are allowed to do so. There is no violation as long as, in doing so, you do not reveal anyone else's private content in the process.
The goal of Guideline#20 is to to protect OTHER people's private posts not to disallow sharing of your OWN, similar to being able to reveal your OWN medical condition but not ANOTHER persons.
This prevents restriction of, for instance, making a post in the Men's Lounge and then making the exact same post in Coed in a new thread. Also, in the case of a lady's coed rebuttal of a review such as this one, the gentleman can choose to quote his own review to alleviate concerns or clarify the situation as he chooses.
Without the ability to do so his reputation may be damaged or people without premium access could get the wrong idea as the lady is free to say whatever she wishes but he cannot discuss the session in detail since he has already done so in his review.
I hope that's more clear. And, as Pistolero has said, this is a definitive answer from the powers that be.
