The group who discussed this included the arbitration committee, the staff of Foundation, and SlimVirgin and others who have from time to time been victims of harassment or stalking. We listened particularly to the advice of those who have have been harassed. The conclusion is that continuing to link to and communicate with harassers just encourages them. A firm "no" is what is called for.
I've been told on no uncertain terms that the arbcom has endorsed no such position.
I've also now spoken to foundation staff and heard what I could only describe as nearly the opposite response.
Can you explain this discrepancy?
My last message on this subject brought me a mountain of insults and hate mail, so I can understand why no one is jumping up to cast more light on this situation... but I will personally not be intimidated by attacks or threats.
