Subject: RE: BS: Should I Rat on Former Co-Worker?
I wouldn't use the word "rat," it is thieves' jargon. If the person is doing real harm, report her. If not, don't. You may know whether she is doing real harm; we have no way of telling, so our advice is really not too useful. But the idea of not "ratting" is a romanticised part of criminals' ideology.
