This is a public forum, which can be viewed by music enthusiasts as well as by children and grandmothers. Reporting offensive posts is one way to give the place wider appeal, should any of those serious or innocent readers pass through.

Yeah these are good points.

(In fact, Trollheart, you have quite a reputation here as being a White Knight, defending the defenseless and taking an honourable stand. If you don't like to report posts, you still do more than your share to maintain the good name of MB. I feel that point should be acknowledged.)

Thanks man. Must get my armour polished up; it's looking a little tatty at the moment...

It's not. We just like one-upping each other and it's fun if you blow your top.

I hope you're not knee-deep in it...

Sorry man, but that is seriously wrong. A cop really doesn't have opportunity to snitch on a prisoners. Cops apprehend "perps" then they booked, and set up to appear in court, cops usually testify against who the person who perpetrated a crime in a court room, but at time the "perps" are now defendants and they're presume innocent until they are found guilty by a jury of their piers, they are not prisoners until a conviction when they are sent to jail or incarcerated in a prison. Cops generally don't come across prisoners, it's the prison guards who do.

Serious note: I feel we should also acknowledge the diligent work of our mods in acting on any reported posts. I just prefer to deal with it personally if I can, but as Lis and Roxy and others say, some people prefer to avoid confrontation and that's fine. I'm just pointing out there's another way.
