Harassment doesn't necessarily mean sexual harassment.

  No one thinks that it does, in fact "sexual harassment" hadn't even crossed my mind. But based purely on what the author wrote (which seems comprehensive, complete with emails), I don't see harassment.

    Yes, people do. Here is one example. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15586109 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15586109

  Yes, and I'm not saying it does. I'm saying the article has no example of actual harassment. There was no name calling, no threats, and no abusive behavior. All I see is a potentially socially-inept guy trying to communicate, and someone reading way too much into his emails (she kept claiming the "threats were insinuated," really?).

    The email isn't supposed to be proof of some kind of creepy behavior but proof of an unwillingness to leave the project.
