I have total sympathy for all people followed around by people whom they do not like. It is indeed enough to make the net an unpleasant place, if you are of a sensitive nature. SI has rules to protect one from obvious violence and really egregious obscenity, but for everything else, you are on your own. This can be a very hard thing to deal with. On the other hand, I always remember Justice Cardozo and The Flopper case. It concluded with a line something like "The Timorous May Stay at Home."
