I don't really see any faux outrage here. Just a debate about a topical issue. I personally agree with @siminevazire and @hardsci . In absence of explicit notice not to share decision letters, I see no reason at all not to. They're not "personal" emails - they're institutional

In this specific case, the editor very clearly stated he would have said "yes".

And that may well be true on his part. But at the time, he might have said no. What should happen then?

I said case by case for a reason. To be honest, I don't know if a general rule will help.
