The mantra "Snitches get stitches" doesn't really apply in this situation.
Again, I believe the best way to deal with behaviour like that, at least in the first instance, is to engage with the person who is misbehaving. I know Roxy says some people don't like confrontation, but to be honest, newbies aside I don't see anyone here who holds that view. We're all adults and if we can't point out to someone that they're offending/attacking/upsetting us before we go reporting them, then there's something wrong here. I mean, honestly: if someone pushed you or called you a name in the street, are you going to stand up to them or call the cops? Anyone who is that sensitive really needs to rethink their reason for being here, in my view.
