Nice post Erika. I'm kinda shocked at some of the replies where many of you were apalled at the in-your-face post by huryly-gurly. Mayby she missed that class on being demur and polite when you are getting harassed.

I don't see where its a bad idea to bring this out in the open, since some of those who are reading this thread may have crossed the line a few times themselves. I think her point was to say: "we have a problem here" with the hope that the GC members accept it as a problem.

The responses I read are: tell the moderator, tell John, don't be upset, watch your spelling, if you are dumb enough to read that PM you deserve it, don't use a naughtie word, etc.

What the GC members can do is to support those who are having a problem and don't pile on them as whiney if they complain about it. What the guys can do is stop crossing the line and if you are sending out harassing PMs and emails then stop it.

I doubt if many of the guys here are doing this type of behavior and most of the ones who are, prolly don't mean it to be as offensive as those who receive it do. Remember, harassment is in the eye of the person on the receiving end. The bottom line is: if you are doing this behavior then stop it.
