To be brutal, I doubt there's a whole lot the police either can do, or will see as a high priority to do, unless specific threats are mentioned (they might take interest if you casually mention you think he might be the type to carry heavy rucksacks onto tube trains, but that's probably very naughty). There is no real central policing of the internet, and to be fair, I kind of hope that never happens, there's co-operation over paedophiles, domain name contests and international tax evasion and the like but nothing really central to resolve "minor" problems (I use the word "minor" in no way to diminish the effects your other half is surely suffering, merely in the context when put alongside kiddie-fiddlers).

I like this post :smt023
Good on you for getting the out come you both wanted but go to say sometimes(as others have alluded), it amazes me the effect forums and such have on folks......again not meaning to cause offence.
