Recently, Dave Taylor mentions one form of electronic harassment.  
Unfortunately, electronic harassment seems to be an increasingly common 
tactic.

About a month ago, I was hounded off another remote forum (Computers and 
Composition Digest) because I disagreed with the majority opinion about 
our stance in the Persian Gulf.  In brief, the majority opinion was that 
we were there only to protect our oil interests, and I had the audacity to 
suggest that international relations weren't that simple.

Individual subscribers on the list set me electronic hate mail, clogging 
my mailbox, forcing me to take the time to separate the wheat from the 
chaff.  Certainly one of the disadvantages of electronic-mediation is the 
potential for abuse.
