Allow a comment to an entry to be sent as a PM

Title:
Allow a comment to an entry to be sent as a PM

Area:
entries

Summary:
If we had the option to reply to comments in our own journals in the form of a PM to the person who commented as well as in the form of a comment, it would be cool.

Description:
This is not a problem-solving suggestion. But there are times that you want to respond to a comment privately, either to provide sensitive information or just to tell the person to STFU without embarassing them. Or even to provide sekrit information that the other people reading your journal can't see. And it's a PITA to have to hunt your way over to their journal and construct a PM when you could just have one-touch shopping.

And if doing that didn't unscreen their comment -- if you happen to have all comments screened -- that would be even more awesome! It would be a way to reply to unscreened comments without opening the thread of discourse for general view.

I think this is better

I see no reason not to allow PMs from a comment thread as long as the person has PMs enabled (if you only want PMs when you think it's acceptable--which I get--I'd limit it to your trusted list because they can be expected to know that) but I like this suggestion better.
