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

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.
