<<<Off Topic>>> Hall Monitors????

hi R, I agree that going to SI and 'informing' is less than ideal.
(and I've said that since the sentiment of the thread seems to be against it, I will only do that when personally attacked.)
But we do Not have the options here that we would have if we were all in a meeting room.
Once an angry, abusive poster has been asked to please stop, and does not, what would you do?

To bring the question home to you:

What if I took that 'Hall Monitor' comment as a personal insult?
And responded with a series of posts about your intelligence, your personal hygiene, your mother's morals, etc?
What if I made up names to call you which demeaned and insulted you?
I could get quite creative.
What if I made harassing you a personal project? So that you could look forward to six or eight of these posts everyday?
What if I used your profile to follow you wherever you post and attacked you there?

Would that be "Free Speech"? which you would "not read and not respond to."????
---------------------------------

(You know, I can see where that might be Fun.)
(But No! No! I must fight against yielding to the attractions of the Dark Side!!!)

regards,
diana
