Game Chat vs SD

I have a question that came up and wonder what is correct.
I understood that a lot of people do NOT look at game chat so if I wrote say "Hey Green, 2 turn treaty till blue is gone" in Game chat it was perfectly OK to copy the same thing and PM or put it on there wall.
Wow, I never thought that was secret diplomacy. It never entered my mind. what is the answer folks?
