Sure, without a clear idea about what the offence really is we are only 
dealing with subjective interpretations.

Repeated harassment may sometimes be only in the eye of the person who 
sees himself harassed.

We have recently had one person try to get a bot authorised on every 
project that he could, and viewed anyone who would go around after him 
to oppose this as harassment.

Others will view any campaign to oppose all their AfD's as harassment.

Unless we can come to an agreement about what we mean this will get nowhere.
