(No, it doesn't make harassment right, but still...) : Fourth; Would Saudi users keep coming back to relay for netsex if they : never found any? : JD (s. siegal) <--- androgynous nicks and initials seem to ward off : lots of harassment too :) Well JD, I would have to agree with you that my name seems to be looking for trouble. But I look at it this way, my nick has nothing to do with wanting relay sex, or sex in general. I take requests in good humour, the first time. Unfortunately many of the users, especially those on Saudi nodes do not seem to get the hint. So I will /ignore them. That just pisses them off and they send to me direct, and harrass me until I ignore them with xyzzy. You see, I have otherppl ask too, but nobody takes it to the same extreme. I don't mind being *politely* asked about my nick, for realy sex, or about my sexual preferences. I am open about that. What I do mind is verbal and sexually harrassed by users who think that they are G_d's gift to relay women (and men when they are not sure.) I have brought this up to many Ops, and MOps (you know who you are) and I have sent log files to OPRNAD@SAUMP00 when it concerned his users. The response from OPRNAD and *some* relay ops has been, "We can't do anything." A few ops believe something *should* be done but have no power to do it. All I want to see is someone stop the harrassment or start taking more action than has been in the past. TTFN D. H. Saxe (aka TieMeUp!)
