Watch how it escalates when they know they can get away with it.

OTRS Ticket #2008030510018765 in which my stalker threatened to visit the
Foundation's offices. In OTRS Ticket #2008022610014614  he threatens to stab
OTRS members (directed at me).In OTRS Ticket #2008022510010951  he threatens
to hunt members of the foundation down and kill them. He then sent me emails
to my direct email, mentioning my address, threatening to tie me to a pole,
rape my family in front of my eyes, torture them, slit their throats, pour
their blood on me, and then stab me to death. Cheery. The guy has a prior
felony conviction for stalking, by the way, and a record of domestic abuse.

Pretending that people like that don't exist and don't harass Wikipedians
won't make it go away.
