i disagree.
1) if you have a legal problem, go to a legal organisation ("police"), not ripe. clarify your legal issues there. ripe isn't the place for this.
2) i generally appreciate ripe ncc's efforts to provide adequate aid in case of any problems - nevertheless it has it's functions and tasks to stick to, letting sbdy use it to mess with ripe-external stuff inevitably has to create big trouble (and if we're talking about legal stuff: doubly so). and especially when it comes to spending money on non-ripe-tasks i strongly oppose, as i don't accept being charged for such. non-ripe-charged 'ripe-extraterritorials' creating lengthy flamey threats as to what kind of services they "demand" from ripe, i btw find - err - "curious"...
3) if the complainant isn't prepared, able, or willing to express his complaint against the alleged suspect, this probably already says it all... (ok so much: then ncc shouldn't play bully for some troll)
