On Line Harassment
In a thread I started a while back - died and should be left dead; I stated that there is no such thing as Online harassment.
The only reply to that statement:

got me thinking.
In the news of late there was a story of a Judge who sentences a 14 year old girl to jail for talking **** about her school principal on her my space page. (Ends up the judge was getting kick backs from the privatized juvenile detention center) But her my space comment could be viewed as harassment.
Perhaps creating a blog or social networking account representing someone else in order to defame someone is harassment?
But this is the Internet:
Where men are men. women are men, and children are FBI agents.
-catch
My question:
How can you be harassed on line. I'm not talking about you getting your feelings hurt and having enough time and money to sue some one or have a district attorney file charges against you. (The bogus my space pages or slanderous posts)
How can anything written on the Internet harm you? Do you really think anyone gives two shits about what someone on my space thinks about you?
So if you feel you are being harassed, why can't you:
Get a new email address
Change screen names
Don't visit the sites that offend you
Turn the computer off
