What they do outside Wikipedia may not be in our jurisdiction, but whether we allow people who engage in illegal activities off-wiki something we can control. It makes no sense: If I attack someone on their talk page I get blocked, but if I do it on some random internet forum I can get away with it? That's just playing into the hands of troublemakers.
Besides, haven't email attacks been used as evidence to get someone blocked. Is email on or off wiki?

[[Wikipedia:No Personal attacks]] states that off-Wikipedia personal attacks are a side issue and do not fall under the jurisdiction of Wikipedia. Whatever is decided, I request that policies are in sync with each other.
