"That person admitted/bragged to me and others via pm, but never came forth to set the public record straight."

Since, I have violated most of the TOU, I could not hold my head up if I turned someone in. I haven't done so and wont in the future for that reason alone. I have no problem with other persons doing so, including if they turn me in unless they are being a hypocrite by turning me in but not members of their "group" for similar violations.

I figure that king/queen pins of bullying groups can and should be dealt with in this way.

Having watched X's tactics for a while, I would not be surprised to find out that she got someone else to do her dirty work. Not saying she did, just saying I wouldn't be surprised.

I can think of two occasions when popular opinion held that X had turned someone in. In both cases, someone other than X had done the dirty deed.

You didn't explicitly say that you considered my situation one of those, and maybe you didn't. But just to set the record straight, here's the post where she said she had turned me in.

Message 15275078

And I know she followed through, because Bob PM'd me and told me it was nothing, not to worry.

BTW, check out the post she responded to, and the intervening posts, and decide for yourself whether I threatened her or was any more personal than thousands of posts on SI.
