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.
