it's downright silly to suggest that Alice would even make such a deal with her assailant in the middle of a robbery in the first place. In the real world, this sort of situation is more likely to result from Alice advertising a "no questions asked" reward for the anonymous return of her stolen property, which is in fact illegal as it directly incentivises future thefts. .

LOL foxpoop you simply do not seem to realise that you are completely foolish pushing this further.

Referring to the original analogy there is NO WAY that the police would consider Alices actions as blackmail that would ever result into her being charged or even being mentioned as blackmail.

You are clearly talking nonsense like you always do.

You are now stating the reason Alice would not be charged for blackmail is because BOB can not report the issue without being dropping himself in it.

Please stop embarrassing yourself further.

Just imagine if you can, try and visualise it. You are on a bus and you notice some guy walk up to a girl and grab her phone off her, she screams give it back or I will report you to the police.

----- first thing you think is ...... this is going to result in a blackmail charge against her?? does anyone outside of meta board even consider that warped version of future events?

Please just seek some reprogramming if that is what you really believe. No wonder you slather out merits for you pals nothing burger word salad puke.

Now you are saying Alice will NOT be charged with blackmail because BOB won't report it else he will be incriminating himself. haha

How about later on the bus driver reports the incident and makes a full statement.

.........and then the policeman said........" we're looking for a girl in connection with an attempted blackmail, the victim is male wearing a hoodie and carrying 1 possibly even 2 cell phones " hahahahahahah

........and then the policeman said " if the victim is watching this on his new cell phone and requires any kind of counselling or support please call 911metaboardpolice ask for agent foxpoop . hahahaha

tell me more foxy it's brilliant. I can't get enough of you lately. Do you have your own youtube channel ? these gags are classics.

Imagine your dedication (to everything else other than finding my stupid posts obviously) if you did give a fuck...haha

Someone grabs Alices phone and she shouted to the thief " give it back or I'm calling the cops"

.....and then agent fox poop said....... wait for it everyone.......

LOCK HER UP

hhahahahhahahhahahahhahahah - you can not buy this stuff folks. This is master comedic genius at work. I love it.

@Steamtyme

Let's say we just disagree slightly then on the trust/feedback system.

As for seeing things for other peoples point of view. This is fine but as you say social norms are usually useful in extreme cases. There was local outrage once I remember when a burglar consumed some expired produce from some persons home he was ripping off and got terrible food poisoning to the point he nearly died. He then attempted to bring some kind of legal case against them for leaving that there in the fridge whilst they were on their vacation. lol ...

Nothing at all has changed for me since the start of the thread. Alice is the clear victim. Bob is clearly the perp. There is no case for a blackmail charge and BOB is clearly untrustworthy . Sorry there is no 2 victims here for me.

Actually foxpoop does demonstrate by his prior actions that he believes Alice deserves punishment and that BOB deserves to be rewarded. However that will not be revealed at this point since we are still on the analogy not the situation with important similarities. But exclude this for now since it will come later on.

I mean I do love hearing the other persons point of view, especially when it is so ~~hilarious~~ different and interesting, but of course we need to be sensible some times. We don't want a small subset of food poisoned ~~burglars~~ victims or blackmailed cell phone thieves using the trust system to enforce their strange and wonderful social norms on the entire board.
