Damn, that's spooky. Not having been in, around or even known anyone associated with such a situation, I'm too off balance to have an opinion on a course of action (except for the victim to fight hard and dirty). The whole concept just wiggs me out...

"Victim?" That's hardly been established.

Yeah, that was exactly my own problem; never having been around anything like it before, I just kept on walking. I wish I'd been at least as bold as the guy in the seat ahead of me; then at least I'd have had some clue as to what was going on. Hindsight is so irritating... DC

Any advice or opinion I may give regarding victimness is conditional on there actually being a victim, and is immediately rescinded upon loss of said caveat.
We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
