He got mad at people tracking (or trying to track) current IRL location to enable harassment after someone went after his son.


sort by: page size:

"Harassing" doesn't seem like the right word to describe asking questions to strangers. But he probably just moved around looking for announcements.

_why should be left alone. People keep bringing this up and starting the hunts again to locate and bother him, it's a form of harassment and bullying.

Maybe they shouldn't have harassed him -- sounds like he was doing it on his own time.

> in case someone decides to "stalk me" and "beat my face in"

If you are just as abrasive in real life as in this thread I can believe it.

It’s not that I don’t understand the frustration, but at this point it’s a bit past the point of being reasonable.

I imagine they’ll get it sorted through swearing in twitter guy and then ignoring him as much as possible for the next 6 years, after which they’ll make sure to get someone one of their friends to run.

But who knows, maybe they’ll get along.


In what ways was he harassed? I quite liked the article and agreed with its premise btw.

Can anyone link to the harassment/threats he mentions? (Mostly the latter, I'm sure there was much harassment but I have yet to see any real "threats").

These subsequent actions he took are harassment, I agree.

It seems like that would be cyber harassment and attacking someone.

flagged for stalking

Harassment.

Would this count as stalking though? I pulled up a definition on Google and

> According to the United States Department of Justice (DOJ), the legal definition of "stalking" means "engaging in a course of conduct directed at a specific person that would cause a reasonable person to fear for his or her safety or the safety of others or suffer substantial emotional distress."

Using an antenna to figure out somebody's approximate location and publicizing it, when that somebody already has stalkers going after his children [1], seems like it would cause reasonable fear

> By the way, would you still call it harassment if you never got in the way of the person you were following, never acknowledged your presence, and generally let them go about their business while you were busily recording everything they did? Most people would still be very unhappy.

... they certainly are:

He harasses people get doesn't know are guilty.

Shouldn't he rather go after people who harassed him? That's where neutral information morphs into harmful action.

Was the uncivil outburst in question the attacks on people concerned about them hiring a surveillance cop as their "maker in residence", or was there another uncivil outburst I should know about?

How does he harass you?!

Because interacting with students on the Internet is how he harassed people?

Ah I see now.

He is not allowed to take immediate actions to ensure his family's safety before filing the police report.

> Or a video of the alleged stalker engaging in any of the claimed activity. Not a video of someone calmly sitting in a car, recording someone recording them and saying "I'm not."

Yeah, I think the logistics was difficult around the incident.

You'd have to take the video all the way before you realized there was a stalker, and the stalker would have to be stupid enough to say "I'm the stalker" out loud while being recorded.

Are most the victims of stalking able to do that with the first incident? Is Elon an outlier here?

My conclusion is still valid. As of now, there is no way to satisfy your ridiculous criteria.


It was leading to harassment re: the complaint linked in the other comment.
