I am surprised to discover that you believe I have been  indeffed. 

Perhaps you need to redefine what you are talking about.  There are dozens of people on this list, and plenty of others on that page you just linked, who have objected publicly to sexual harassment but have never been blocked or sanctioned, let alone indeffed.  Please stop spreading such nasty memes. It is hurtful.

Answer: 26. https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IdeaLab/Community_discussion_on_harassment_reporting

That said, everyone I know of who has ever publicly objected to sexual harassment has subsequently been indeffed.  Maybe that's what the essay should say.

anne, thank you so much, for the first time i think i understand the

Just in case people don't understand what kind of threats we're discussing here I just pulled up the 2011 messages, about half of those I got, and found:
*Several introductory ones saying they knew where I lived because info so easily found on the internet
*Around 100 calling me a bitch and saying they'd murder me
*Only one a few days later saying "you will die"
*Another hundred calling me a stupid whore and making nasty accusations
*265 only called me a spineless leftist hypocrite
*84 calling me a whore and accusing me of having sex with the admin who started somehow interrupting his emails (which he continued sending through the wikipedia system until he stopped)

I have another 500 odd in another file from a year or so later but don't feel like uploading and searching...

On wikipedia, 8/11/11 there was a relatively tame one predicting I'd be dead "12 months from now". It was removed but I kept the JPG. Don't have JPGs for other ones that were removed that day. My pages were protected vs. non-verified users after that. https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3ACarolmooredc&action=history&year=2011&month=8&tagfilter=

Like I've said, having put up with nonsense - and death threats - from guys already since 1990 online, I wasn't scared just really annoyed. Especially knowing some people WOULD be scared by this sort of thing...

So a clear statement not to get upset and know there are clear and escalating steps you can take would help...




And then there was the gif of me being beaten to death with my name on it that lasted on wikicommons a couple days before it was taken down. Still have a copy...
