No, I'm skeptical that everyone on the cyberstalking list has ever actually been cyberstalked. Some clearly have, at least by a broad definition of cyberstalking.
If it's a mailing list of people who have in fact been cyberstalked, it would make sense for subscribers of the list to generally not know who the other subscribers are. It would make a hell of a lot more sense for them to refrain from posting under identifiable names (ones easily cross-referenced to websites on which they have been cyberstalked, e.g. Wikipedia), much less real ones.
Now, a summary of "interesting edits" by User:!! would only be relevant if User:!! was: A. Suspected of being a returning user who, under a previous identity, may have been cyberstalked. B. Suspected of cyberstalking somebody, either currently or in the past, and possibly needing to be blocked.
Perhaps different people drew different conclusions from the evidence and the context in which it was presented, but clearly there was some horribly ineffective communication, innuendo, and assumption afoot.
