I don't think it's fair to imply that those of us who oppose specific 
"anti-stalking" measures are somehow unfamiliar with the issue. Many of 
us have experienced crazy people going on crusades and sending out 
flurries of crazy and often threatening messages and/or phone calls. I'm 
just more jaded about it, and consider it part of the cost of doing 
business, so to speak, when dealing with electronic communications 
systems. That sort of thing has been a part of the internet for as long 
as I can remember, and the internet hasn't fallen apart because of it, 
so people muddle through as always. Nobody came up with a way to solve 
the problem on Usenet in the mid-1990s without making other things 
worse, and I don't think you're going to come up with a magic solution 
today on Wikipedia without breaking something else either.
