The allegations of stalking and sexual harassment are very serious matters. If you feel like you are the victim of an internet stalker, contact your local law enforcement agency. If they are not able to help you, they can at least point you in the right direction. These authorities will have my full cooperation. Anyone found to be involved in any of this illegal activity with another member here will be immediately banned. No other warnings.

Conversely, falsely accusing another member of such activities is something that we won't tolerate. We take the allegations of stalking seriously, but we also take false allegations seriously. Any of these incidents need to come with some type of proof. If you do not report it to the authorities, do not report it here, either.

This is a very serious matter, but we also have to use some common sense on this subject. People have been hitting on each other via the internet for years and that will likely continue for years to come. All of these activities aren't a matter for the police, nor are they all a matter for board administrators. Ignoring unwanted attention is always a good practice. In most cases, ignoring it works to stop that unwanted attention. But in the event that ignoring it doesn't work, or if you ever feel that you are threatened in any way, let me reiterate:

If you feel like you are the victim of an internet stalker, contact your local law enforcement agency. If any stalker is found to be someone associated with this site, the authorities will have our full cooperation and any offenders will be immediately banned. If you are engaged in this type of activity, you are NOT welcome here.



Also on the subject of harassment:

Anyone posting personal information about another member with the intent to badger, threaten or intimidate that member will be immediately banned. No other warnings will be given. I realize that this will involve my subjective judgment on a case-by-case basis, so the best advice I can give all of you is DO NOT even come close to violating this guideline. Don't make me have to exercise that judgment. I have much better things to do with my time.

Political Bull requires a thick skin. I've said that for years. But that is NOT an excuse to be a jerk. If you disagree with someone about their politics, by all means, call them out and tell them what you think. But if your only reason for being here is to exhibit behavior that you wouldn't exhibit if you were visiting a neighbor's ranch, maybe you need to think about whether or not this is the place for you.

Let's all try to keep it less about the personal stuff and more about the politics.
