Dr Bob,
the FAQ states:
"What can I do if I feel harassed here?
First, I'm sorry if that happens. I try to keep the atmosphere supportive, but unfortunately it isn't always. To help, please be civil even if you feel harassed.I'd rather lines of communication stayed open, but if that's not possible, you can, as a last resort, ask another poster not to post to you anymore. If you think you need to do that, follow these steps:
Identify a post by them to you that makes you feel harassed.
Ask them not to post to you anymore by replying to that post with the "add name of previous poster" box checked. Please be civil when you do so; "please don't post to me" is enough. If it's not clear to me why their post makes you feel harassed, I may ask. I may also decide their post isn't civil, but that's a separate issue.
Save the URL of your request to them.
If they do post to you after that, let me know the URLs of their post to you and of your earlier request to them. Please be civil when you do so.
If you post to them, it's OK for them to post to you in response. Your request stays in effect unless you change your mind, which you may do at any time (and are encouraged to do at some time to reopen lines of communication).
Posting to someone means directing either the subject line or the body of a post to them. Replying to posts by someone isn't necessarily posting to them."
What I would like to know is whether you feel that harrassment can only take place by someone posting explicitly TO you?? Is it not possible that to be harrassed under other circumstances, such as, being constantly posted ABOUT, or your words referenced in someone way??Thankyou,
Nikki
