Default Extortion/Harassment on PokerStars

I was playing a $25+$2 Turbo SNG and had an individual demand $25 at the end of the tourney. I'm not sure how he/she came up with this amount - he got 3rd and apparently believed he "deserved" 2nd. He threatened to report me for collusion if I didn't transfer the money to his account. The collusion claim is of course totally baseless, but that's a separate thread. As soon as the table closed, he did a search on my handle, found me at the MTT I was playing, and starting harassing me there, telling the entire table how I was a cheater and demanding I join his table for a rematch.

I've reported this to PokerStars support, and I'm inclined to leave it at that, but I think this player probably has a pattern of extorting/harassing other players too. If that is the case, and a few other people also report such experiences, it would help to get this player's chat revoked. So the question is, would it be bad etiquette to "out" this player? If the consensus is yes, I'll drop it. But if other forum members agree that it would be a public service to be warned and possibly help revoke an obnoxious player's chat, then I'll post the player's PokerStars handle and the objectionable logs and people can reply if they've had similar experiences.

No it would not be bad etiquette to out an s/n of someone who is scamming on PS.

I once had something exactly like this happen, I wonder if it was the same guy. It was a Stars 27, the guy who was short stacked ITM started making comments about me and the other guy colluding (bizarrely, it appeared that the other guy dumped chips to him at least once, i.e. raising his blind for 3BB and folding to a push for about 2BB more). When he busted out, he demanded we pay him money or he'll report us for collusion. I told him to [censored] off and report himself for extortion while he's at it, and that was the last I heard about it.

In retrospect maybe I should have reported him. I hope he does get outed here anyway.
