Me, I think the more that others know about aberrant behavior, the better.
Ah, but isn't what is aberrant also in the eye of the beholder? I may think that sitting in an outdoor stadium (half dressed) in Dec. with half of me painted blue and half yellow would be aberrant behavior, but to a dyed in the wool sports fan it's par for the course.
If only that were so. I have already looked deep into this and tried a few things. For me to purchase from the USA for instance, I would need an American a street address and credit card. VPN is not enough on its own.
That's more than I know about it as I've never tried to buy through another country.
I have spoken with American friends and we have considered having a joint account that I can use, but when you look deeper it becomes problematical, so I haven't bothered.
Probably a few other headaches that would be unexpected as well.
I could, but I have this notion, that respect is a 2-way street, and at the moment I feel disrespected, and I don't engage with others that disrespect. They know what they have done, and it would be foolish to imagine otherwise.
Ah if only it were that easy. It should be but often isn't.
Maybe .... but then again, it could just increase the angst, and I might regret saying something.
The only thing I feel that might work, is public knowledge and shaming, maybe a prick to the conscience.
