" Use Silicon Investor for illegal purposes or for the transmission of material that is unlawful, harassing, libelous, invasive of another's privacy, abusive, threatening, harmful, vulgar, obscene, tortuous, improper or otherwise objectionable. "- -from TOU. Most of the terms used in that are not criminal- -"harassing", "abusive" "harmful", "vulgar", "obscene", "improper", "otherwise objectionable"- -and yet supposedly there is protection against such actions. So it seems clear criminality is not required. A situation where a poster asks another poster to leave them alone and the second poster steadfastly refuses to do so seems to clearly qualify under "harassing". So does a situation where a poster threatens repeatedly to reveal what they claim are compromising PMs. Frankly I fail to see that criminality is required. But let's bring it down to a more personal level: When X was on your case in SMBR, and I intervened, should I not have done so?
