Is this behavior appropriate for a star?

her: I played with *insert star's name here*
her: do u know who he is?
me: yes
her: and this pig
her: after the team match
her: started to ask me questions about my ass and my tits and if i enjoy anal sex
Now, I have no way of knowing if it is true or not, but I have no reason to believe she is making this up either.
Does she have any recourse?
So many experts, not enough X cards.

OR Take a screenshot.
OR Just note the exact time.
Then email abuse@bridgebase.com
Seems the sensible way to approach it.

So while I would have voted "yes" if the question concerned World Class players (or BC winners or whatever) I voted no in this poll.
Of course no BBO user should behave like that, but gold stars have an extra obligation to behave themselves AFAIHU.

Shouldnt the poll read:
Is this behavior appropriate for anyone on BBO?

There really should be a tutorial on how to take a screen shot somewhere on BBOs webpages. This kind of behavior shouldn't have the names edited out. It should be screenshot and posted right here on the forums for all the world to see that the player is that kind of @$$hole. Star or not.
But seriously, take a screenshot and email abuse. And keep emailing abuse until they do something about it. The standard "your complaint has been noted" response is not at all enough. At the very least they need to tell the perpetrated how they have handled it.

While that link provides one way to do a screen capture, on some keyboards (such as mine), the PRT SCR key and SYS REQ are on the same key next to F12.
These require an ALT then Pressing PRT SCR to actually work.
Ideally, there would be a button or function key within BBO itself that one could select that would automatically capture the screen and forward to abuse, but thats not likely to happen.
Unfortunately, the person informing me of this problem says she isn't interested in reporting it, which irritates me to no end.

The reason I think it's an important enough situation is that I can think of at least 3 people (2 women and 1 guy people thought was a woman) who have told me that they've been harassed by people because of their (apparent) sex and age. Granted this is all secondhand testimony (now thirdhand to you), but it seems like this is not an isolated instance, and steps should be taken to curb this behavior.

I included 'on BBO' since consenting adults can take it anywhere they want.

Not to a stranger, out of the blue.
