Hoi, Absolutely !!
Denying that this is taking place endangers us, our continuity and our neutral point of view. There simply is no excuse for stalking. When things make a turn for the worst, the excuse "I did not know" is rather lame. It is for this reason that we have to address it sooner rather then to late. Thanks, Gerard

Is stalking in the real world a crime in itself?
In most jurisdictions, yes. But as has been pointed out, enforcement can be very difficult.
And let me add that the Internet is part of the real world.
In a strict ultimate sense you are right of course,
Some behaviours would still cast doubt on that finding. :-)
I assume you're joking, but if someone is continuously harassing and/or threatening you, it doesn't matter whether it's by phone, by mail, by email, by instant message, by wiki talk page, by whatever. Stalking is stalking. Cyberstalking is stalking. Wikistalking is stalking. Anyone who persists in using one of the terms to mean less than that is harming society.
The Internet is part of the real world. Full stop.
