> I issued a Do Not Post request to a user here. This user has now posted to me THREE times. I sent this information to Bob with all the url’s for him to view. Nothing happened. Imagine how that made me feel. Angry? Hurt? Unprotected?…definitely!
A critical factor in a Do Not Post request, for it to be binding, is that harassment is evident.

Rules 1 and 2 *require* harassment. Holding differing opinions about third parties does not fit the definition for harassment. Nor does my failing to heed her requirement that I modify my behaviour towards a third party (not even on the Babble site). Defiance is not harassment. See the original "Do not post" request:

http://www.dr-bob.org/babble/social/20050330/msgs/478960.htmlThe original request does not meet the harassment requirement. All that might flow from it, is moot. One person's discomfort ought not to become a burden placed on another. Disagreement alone is insufficient grounds.
I have tried (and failed) to do the honourable thing, out of respect, but this is receiving far too much attention, IMHO. I have apologized, repeatedly. I shall not let it happen again, notwithstanding the lack of regulatory support for the request.
Humbly,
Lar
