Web Stalkers
Chapter 3 -
Web Weirdos
The Pseudo Stalker
There have even been cases of individuals
getting into altercations online and attempting to file legal action
against another party. How the legal intricacies of the web develop
and what constitutes solid grounds for litigation is for the courts
to decide. A later chapter will explore the internet and the laws
in more detail, but for the purposes of this section, suffice it to
say, it is always advisable to take the high road when dealing with
difficult people online.
One cannot be responsible, if one does the
right thing, as hard as that may be from time to time. As for
determining when someone has crossed the line and if legal action
has become appropriate, exercise restraint and reserve this option
for only the most grievous offenses. Note here, that threats of
violence against another person violate the law in any forum and can
result in prosecution.
Remember, that while web stalkers may begin
communicating in an irritating manner, many will progress to direct
threats. Never dismiss any disturbing or frightening comments as
“probably nothing” or “probably harmless.” Words often lead to
actions and all threats, even veiled threats, should be taken
extremely seriously.
