[Foundation-l] Stalking Article

Tue Jun 10 21:18:48 UTC 2008

 Durova's point is that in her case, law enforcement was unable and
unwilling
to help. Apathetic would be an understatement. Willfully negligent might be
even more appropriate. I think her point is that we ought to consider what
actions the foundation can take to assist individuals in cases where the
courts and law enforcement aren't a recourse.

And I'll verify her statement about the particular stalker on Wikipedia
Review and the checkuser he stalked (not that we don't all know who that
might be), namely because he's got my personal information too and has
threatened me as well.

Perhaps Dan misread my words.  I have described David Shankbone's situation
and my own, not some other person's.  In a general sense I do know of other
instances, quite a few actually.  Unless a person gives me permission to
discuss their situation I respect their desire for privacy.  This is the
type of situation where the decision about what to do belongs solidly in the
hands of the individual most directly involved, in each individual
instance.  The decision to step forward involves a near-certainty of
increased trolling and may enhance actual danger.

In this difficult discussion I ask all participants to measure their
comments wisely.  This list is public.
