Just one quick message in reply to what TMan had to say.
My intent was not to apply that whoever was being harassed 'deserved' it.
But, as much as we would like to think differently, relay is not an entirely
safe environment as fas as harassment goes (as this whole discussion clearly
emphasizes). Knowing that, it seems only logical to expect certain things
from certain actions. If you sign on as DoMe! or some such nickname, you
should expect certain reactions to that nickname. Yes, it's _wrong_, and
yes, some of those reactions could even be classified as harassment, but
it should still be expected.
People who are being harassed are not to be blamed, but there are things
they can do to stop it. It's like wearing a mini-skirt, no panties and high
heels at midnight on Times Square. It might be _wrong_ for that man to
approach you with a 20 dollar bill in his hand, but you should have seen it
coming.
Hope that makes my position clear,
For anyone who is still counting votes, mine is still no.
