[QUOTE="david.garrett84, post: 1188214, member: 8949"] Scotian's initial comment wasn't a problem. The issue is TooFineAPoint then said he advised that course of action. Taken by itself, Scotian's remark was harmless. What becomes a problem is subsequent commenters "calling for" or "advising" something like that. I responded to TooFine because he took what would be interpreted by any sane person as humorous commentary and took it in another direction. People can call me a wowser and a party pooper, but after both Cazes' downfall and the Alex Minassian incel beat-up (even if no one knew about Cazes' activities and Minassian didn't read the forum), some comments can be used against the forum. I am not a firm believer in "optics" (our views will always be twisted), yet some things just shouldn't be said on the forum. I don't have any problem with TooFine personally - I'm just pointing out what will likely go down in these situations. As for $100 not being the market rate, you'd be surprised. My friend knew a guy in suburban [i][b]Paris[/b][/i] who was beaten to within two inches of his life for 75 Euro (37.50 Euro each). He took a pass at someone's girl, who then reciprocated the flirtation, and the infuriated boyfriend got two local thugs to give him a pounding. Some people do this stuff for shits and giggles, plus a small amount of cash. [/QUOTE]
