The problem is that this sentence assumes a clear agreed-on definition of harassment, while it should be based on subjective experience. If I say "Randy, that's harassment and I want you to stop," he may respond "No it isn't." I propose something like: "Participants asked to stop a behavior that is being experienced as harassment are expected to comply immediately." Issue: "I find all emails containing the word "comply" to be harassing[0], and I'd like you to stop" Now what do you do? W [0]: Mr Smoke-Too-Much: Yes, that's right. It's all due to a trauma I suffered when I was a sbool boy. I was attacked by a bat. Bounder: A cat? Mr Smoke-Too-Much: No, a bat. > > Scott > -- "I think perhaps the most important problem is that we are trying to understand the fundamental workings of the universe via a language devised for telling one another when the best fruit is." --Terry Prachett
