That was a good response, and politer than my post deserved. You started using the h word after her first nasty post, not after her fourth. In the telephone analogy, the first call isn't harassment, and if you call the person back, I dare say the fourth isn't. This is the content in X's comment that imo pointed up a genuine and telling irony, and more than irony, in your position: ..."for those who do not wish to linger in increasing pain with a terminal illness, I wish for them any end they desire- including assisted suicide. You will give death to criminals, but not to people who really want it- now isn't THAT ironic?..." I'm not defending X, or X's posts subsequent to the one that you decided to call harassment. X is no friend of mine. I just don't think that exchange was a banning one. Especially on a Boxing Ring. I'll tell you what I do think is a banning offense. Any comparison of X's posts to you and these actions is, of course, silly. Actual harassment. Protracted. Seemingly obsessional. Over dozens of posts and on more than one site. Carried on so persistently that the object of the 'attentions' becomes frightened. Referring to the fixated-on object's family. Sexual insinuations. Insinuations that the harasser is in possession of compromising personal material, and intimations that he will post material of a perhaps intimate nature in public in spite of denials that such exist. I do not defend X's posts to you after the one above, which you called, on this boxing ring thread, harassment. I just believe you were trying to get her kicked off, and I believe that that was unjustifiable. I'll show you harassment. This is harassment: Message 17388001
