The first question that comes to my mind about this is one of jurisdiction. Your use of the word "town" suggests that we are not even talking about one of the major cities in Missouri. Small towns tend to have their rights to legislate defined by state law, and generally what they say cannot have have much effect beyond town limits. For a town to pursue a case of international cyberstalking could break the town's budget. Extradition for breach of a town's by-laws is an unlikely eventuality.
Indeed. It's likely that such a rule was instituted after an issue between two of the place's residents, and is intended to prevent future such. Not anything long-distance.
