    Just down the street.
    I have no enemies, but I'm intensely disliked by my friends.

    If your message was friendly, then it might be a good thing, provided he is just making newbie mistakes.

    It seems to me the best approach in these situations is to first be sure who we are dealing with. If it is a vandal, by all means find a quiet way to identify him and confront him or his parents. If it turns out he is making honest mistakes the let's welcome him and educate him.

    We had someone a few years back vandalizing caches. Within a few days he was exposed, we had his address, phone number, web site, pictures. He was soon banned and didn't have a problem since.
    Brdad, are you going to scold Dubord207 for calling this cacher a punk in your public forum? Apparently as usual, rules apply differently do different cachers and different subjects. Thank you for proving your double standard, in a separate thread from the one concerning Groundspeak Banning cachers!

    Default Scolded!!

    Yikes, does this mean I have to take a "time out?" Hey, if I'm going to receive critical comments for taking somebody to task for for what I consider a serious breach of the very basic rules of our game, so be it. brdad's comments are fine. Like me, he occassionally finds himself acting as the "geo-police." There are lots of folks on this site that are outspoken and that includes me.

    Checked to see if the "offender" (sounds better then punk) has cached again or even visited geo.com and he has not so he may not have seen my comment. My guess is that he's gone from the game and we'll never hear from again.

    Default That's mean!

    No Martini's? That's the final straw. I want to be banned from the site!

    I couldn't let this comment roll by without saying something, even though it's "off topic".

    Bologna. Bullsh*t. Evidently Mike you don't know very many kids "noadays". Sure, there are a few who look for trouble, but in reality it's NO different than it's always been. I'm a mom of four--12, 17, 19, and 20. My 20 year old daughter is currently at Defense Information School for the US Marine Corp. My 19 year old son is a full time student at UMPI, with a full-time job, AND a member of the Maine Army Nat'l Guard. My 17 year old will be a senior in high school this year, and has spent her summer working at Moosehorn--and working damn hard-- for the Youth Conservation Corps. My 12 year old plays every sport going and goes out "fishing" on a boat out of Eastport a few times a week-- baiting, hauling traps, banding lobster. If you've ever worked on a boat you know it's not easy and can be dangerous if you don't know what you're doing. Interestingly enough, these kids aren't exceptions, they're the norm. It's simply that they don't get the press that the few troubled ones do.
