Never said you couldn't.  But it depends on the conversation.  Two individuals going back and forth specifically directing thier entire post to the other is not what I call forum appropriate conversation.  A forum conversation is a topic that many people can get involved in and post in and comment on.  If you're going to specifically direct your post to just one indivual, might as well just use a PM.

As example:
mavrik, you sure can send it me in by mail :)

It would be really great. I'm gonna send you a PM with my details.

This could have easily been sent in a PM.  No one else can really add anything to that post, it is purely directed toward one person.  The only value of posting it openly, is now everyone can see that he might get a copy of the PS client by mail instead.  What else can anyone reply to that?  Not much really. Other than, "erm, that's nice."

Forums have rules and guidelines about the types of conversations that you may have. If a thread draws out beyond usefulness, it is usually closed if people persist in posting idle chatter with no meaningful contributions. If several individuals make posts that have nothing to do with anything, much less the original subject of the thread, the posts may end up being removed. We do try to be lenient and let people post as much as they want, but there is a limit, as can be seen by the "Update is coming" thread, for example.
Judge: Are you trying to show contempt for this court, Mr Smith?
Smith: No, My Lord. I am attempting to conceal it.

Sorry, about that ... Its real I should've sent a PM.
 I guess that the post I am writing atm I should send in a PM, cause I am answering neko kyouran's post. And we can't answer to my post by anything else then "yeh, YOU should've" but of course, because it is addressing to me, that person should send it in a PM

anyway, this is getting :offtopic: so let's go back to what we were talking about :)

It wasn't.  I may have used some of your posts as example, but that doesn't mean it was directed toward you specifically.  It was actually directed toward everyone.  Now the reason why this post isn't in a PM, is becuase your comment was made publicly, and as such I have the right to defend myself publically.

And this really isn't off topic either.  The original topic was resolved, and the thread evoled into this discussion.  That sort of thing happens all the time.  Hope this clarifies things a bit.
