    Repeated messaging or communication when the person has been asked multiple times to stop communicating is harassment, they aren’t on some public channel, it’s a direct message

      I think a lot of folks, in my experience especially those who didn’t grow up with the Internet, don’t see online interactions as “real” as offline. I think it explains a lot of the harassing behavior we see online.

      For the peanut gallery, if someone asks you to stop communicating with you but you persist, it’s harassment regardless of the venue.

        I’d like to think so, but I think you’re being unduly generous here and actually they’re just entitled shitheads
