Message: <blockquote data-quote="Janx" data-source="post: 5191457" data-attributes="member: 8835">Except in Texas, where we can Castle Law the offender.  Danny could explain better, but the gist is, the Castle Law says you can use lethal force to defend yourself or another's life or property.  There are some qualifiers on time of day, and such, but that's why Danny's a laweyer... From a tactical standpoint, complaining about B to C, when C knows B and is potentially good friends with B is just a bad idea.  Your risk of information leakages is pretty high, and was the case in both scenarios.  If C doesn't know B, it's a lot safer and tends to remain as a "just venting" standpoint.I certainly suspect it comes down to that relationship. between B & C.  If it's somebody you don't know and it's just bad-mouthing, it's not worth tracking the person down, and in many ways, you may be getting advanced intel on the nature of that person.  For example, me telling you that B is a slacker and won't get your project done on time is both bad-mouthing, and advice on whether to hire somebody.As to the original A, B & C tattoo tale, A had been drinking over the course of the day, B & C had at most 2 drinks over the course of the evening, as they aren't particularly drinkers.  A was adamant about getting the tattoo, which B and another friend had already advised against on the principle.  One of the reasons B was there, was because B was fairly knowledgable on the subject.  So all B felt they could do was be reluctably "supportive".  B was also of the same thinking of why the 1st 2 parlors didn't do the job.The whole thing was pretty stupid, and ultimately, there is a growing chain of drama with A, so this situation was simply inevitable.As Umbran was asking, since the scenario occurred twice within a few weeks (with completely different parties and situations), I was curious across multiple vectors (ethics, manners, etc) as to the proper course for C when put in that situation.Under what conditions is it right or wrong for C to tell B what is going on?As for cheating, in some states it is actually against the law.  in one state, as I am told, if you catch your spouse in bed, it is legal to shoot them both dead on the spot.  So, as Danny says (though his reasoning is more technical) cheating falls into the breaking some laws category.</blockquote>
