Applying the heuristics of physical interaction to online interaction is usually fraught with issues. But if we are taking the physical analogy, as a model for online interaction then I would point out that people have a range of options before calling the cops and getting a restraining order. For starters, they can simply walk away. You can definitely ignore someone in physical space: we don't expect congress people to listen to everyone heckling them in a restaurant.

For starters, they can simply walk away. What I said was in the context of someone visiting the representative's office. You can make all sorts of comparable analogies, like calling them on the phone, or mailing them a letter. Can't "walk away" from your own office, so the police would be involved in extreme cases of threats or abuse.
