If you are correct in your beliefs, these persons will be legally removed from the net and/or the public, and will no longer be a threat to the rest of us. Otherwise, just complaining about it on the net, with seemingly unfounded accusations, is a waste of net bandwidth, and will undoubtedly provoke those who disagree with you to engage in flames with you, provoking others to flame, ad nauseam, whether these flames are deserved or not. In addition, it won't solve anything. --gregbo
