But by that argument someone who carried out a sustained stalking campaign against someone might actually be guilty of just standing in places. I don't think it's necessarily the mundane details of what they actually did that should be the only determinant of the severity of their punishment. Of course this doesn't mean that an injured party should be able to claim emotional distress from any old thing.
