Sorry, but you've got to have an open discussion. PMed complaints don't have validity and is more subject to abuse. Heck, every time someone gets mad at another poster....he would just have to PM the Probation Officer and make a false complaint. At least this way if you disagree with someone's claim, make your defense...clear your name...maybe even pay your debts.
Currently, some will accept responses such as ITtravel's and some won't. But he at least has had an opportunity to defend himself in a open forum.
