^^ well clearly that's not on. If he does it again make a contemporariness note and if it continues contact the police.
...and report him for internet bullying ; ) But seriously, do if it becomes a problem. Otherwise go with your instincts and let it die.
Also, without wanting to sound remotely like I am condoning his actions, maybe you should take it as a sign to ease up slightly on the whole classified police thing?
RE Donating: I don't think there is any obligation on anyone to make a donation. Which is sort of implicit in the word donation.
The only exception to this is if you are one of the few 'big sellers', like Hilary and Varno, then it sort of comes part of the terms of business. And even then, imo, part of this is predicated on the fact that their primary involvement with the forum is selling. I think this is further born out by the fact that there's never been a discussion about making people donate who often sell but take a more active role - eg JD, Retro de Corsa, etc.
So in summary, obviously if you sell loads then donating is a nice thing to do. But IMO there's no obligation and nor should there be.
