I think you should stop harassing and stalking members on SI. I get a lot of complaints on you.

Looks like Ron really put me in my place for harassing and stalking, doesn't it?

Let's take a look at what I posted that elicited his charge of "harassing and stalking":

Will Google's new ad guidelines help SI to keep messages like this off SI in the future, or will SI continue to be a sanctuary city for hate speech and harassment by racial, religious and any other kind of bigot that shows up? Message 31040290 _______________________________________________________________________________________ Ooh, what a harasser and stalker I am! I saw a hate message posted on SI that was a clear violation of Google's guidelines and brought it to Admin's attention. If you wonder whether or not I was correct in my thinking, take a look at the message I reported and decide for yourself. Here it is: _______________________________________________________________________________________ No such message _______________________________________________________________________________________ What!? 1. Admin accused me of harassment and stalking because I reported a message that could impact SI's cashflow. 2. Admin removed the message I reported because I was correct. 3. Seven months later, Lo-cog Ringo tries to sell this exchange as me "running to management crying about everything" saying "they told to grow a pair and stop sniveling and whining so much". You're pathetic. Your choice of the screen name Lo-cog Ringo is perfect.
