Just had another look.........sorry guys no login no see :(

Basically it's about a very very nasty scammer who was exploiting tsunami victims. Normally if you are lucky you make the mugu hold up a sign saying something stupid. But this baiter took it to another level ie getting the scamer to tattoo himself ( it looks bad and infected )with 'I have been baited by shiver'. Is this a bait too far or does his greed and vicious attack on these people make him fair game? 95% of me says 'serves you right' and the other 5% says hmmm.

I had a look at the pictures and have to admit that I think it may well be going too far.

Firstly, the baiter can never be too sure that the person tattooed is actually the scammer. It could just as easily be a younger member of the family or another innocent who has been 'coerced' into it.

Secondly, if it is the scammer, they must be rather sad and desperate, possibly even a tad 'simple', and I don't think it fair that they may be taken advantage of.

If the baiter could be sure that they are 'professional' scammers, the real low-life, then OK.

(Moral stance over! Usually I don't give a ****)
