Except... except the stalking, harassment, attacks, and other hurtful things go in all directions, and Wikipaedia did start much of this. Yes, linking to attacks on other websites is bad, as it furthers the attack, and may even be in violation of British law. I'm not sure, I am not a lawyer. But, at the same time, Wikipaedia itself is a worst attack site than all of them. But you suggest not communicating with them, because doing so would only encourage them? Okay, wow. Look, I've been through all sorts of abuse and harassment in real life. If you can't get away from them, for whatever reason, ignoring them won't help. They'll just raise the volume until you can't ignore them. Or can you ignore a kick in the chest? I can't. Fear - fight-or-flight. These instincts are in you because you need them, to survive. Ignorance makes you a sitting duck. Those who have been hurt should not be forced to face those who hurt them, as this may be traumatic. However, it may be helpful for others, not so involved, to face these problems instead. People on the other sides have been hurt too, and there are things you can do to resolve these conflicts without hurting anyone else. As such, I strongly encourage the Arbitration Committee to talk to the people from the attack sites. On 12/09/2007, fredbaud(a)waterwiki.info <fredbaud(a)waterwiki.info> wrote:
