>someone who didn't have a solid grasp of what harassment is (or worse, wanted to convince themselves that their harassment didn't count) would portray it that way. And sometimes attention-seekers will convince themselves that something they hear, even if it isn't directed at or to them, is harassment, and try to use it to harm other people. Like the Adria Richards thing. No worries though. Eventually these types will find themselves working solely with each other, in some sort of bureaucratic-HR-dystopia, which requires explicit permission before anyone can speak to anyone else.
