A dude that harassed a fellow woman in tech earlier this year has now turned his attention to me.

I blocked him on Twitter because of his behaviour to that woman.

He reached out to my Instagram and wondered why I had blocked him.

I blocked him on Instagram.

I woke up to him messaging me on Facebook and email yesterday.

Each message has progressively got more aggressive and threatening.

Today I have woke up to more emails.

This is NOT okay behaviour folks!

@Techielass why do people wonder why these things happen when they have zero privacy enabled online?

His behavior surely isnt okay, but there are ways to protect against this.

@Anachron @Techielass honesty this sounds a bit like: Dress properly and you don't get abused. Why does she have to limit communications and handle such abusive behavior?

@spectologic @Techielass she doesnt. This is such a bad reasoning. See my dicussion with the other person.

I can give you another example:
If you know there is a neighborhood with a lot of shootings and decide to go there, dont be surprised when you get shot.

This doesnt mean its okay to shoot people. But it happening is not a surprise and was preventable.

@Anachron @Techielass Seriously you are comparing having contact data available (which literally almost everyone in business has) with going on purpose into an area where i can get shot? I think my argument is more reasonable than that from my point of view.

@spectologic

Copy pasted example from the other discussion in the same thread:

If you were to go into a town square/coffee shop etc. you shouldn't be surprised about running into people you dont like/who dont like you.

The internet is just like that. You'll meet people you dont like if you allow everybody to contact you.

@Anachron I am ending the discussion here because we can agree that we have a very different point of view there. And running into people and getting molested are two different kind of things imho

@spectologic who said it is ok to be molested?

Read my messages again. I was specifically saying it's not okay for him doing this. But people can protect themselves from it if they need to.
