Hmmm. Looking at the edit summaries of talk pages of a couple of editors who write exclusively on the Israel-Palestine issue, as opposed to me who just gets sucked into a few specific articles over and over, usually BLP-related for individuals or organizations...I seem to have a lot more nasty comments on my talk page and article talk pages that had to be deleted by admins, especially the last six months.
And I won't even start discussing the emails I've gotten through wiki-email.
At least on one article I've devoted a lot of time to lately there are a few women engaging in the heated disputes with each other :-)

I think this is a good example of the "unwanted attention" problem that I've heard about from several female editors. Generally, when people talk about sexist behavior on Wikipedia, they tend to think of misogynistic behavior, but I think the unwanted attention/stalking problem may be just as important. Have others on the list experienced this problem? How did it affect you? How did you deal with it? Any ideas for how it can be addressed systematically?
