Micah Fisher-Kirshner: Outing Black Hat SEO; Should we, or should we not?

I'd throw in whether gray hat should be in that for good measure. :)
Jim Munro: Only if they are beating you. :)
Patrick Coombe: I said this already on another forum, but I don't feel as though it is my job as an SEO or a blogger to out other SEO's. If I come across something that is really SPAMMY then I might report it to Google using the provided form, but I think people that go around outing other SEO's are mainly:

1. bored and need to find something better to do.
2. looking to promote their own site
3. trying to suck up

in any case, it looks like a trend that won't stop so while all this outing is going on I will be focused on making more money :)
