In general, it's "not done" to be honest about someone in this space being a bad actor or someone who's not ok on a personal level.

After a while, however, you see that your own passive observing polite stance, cause a repetition of these same tactics and ploys the bad actor keep doing to others.

so my question to the community is:

- if someone is rinse & repeating social bad behaviors and borderline personal image scams

- and you see it repeat

What do you do?

1) would one be obliged to politely (no yelling or cursing) call these people out?

2) or be quiet and let things repeat and run its course? (severing all your ties in a discrete manner)

3) or try to be more backhanded and try to warn people in private (they never listen anyway, but one can try)
