So you're saying, any harassment that failed to meet a criminal criteria, wouldn't be acted upon. Any harassment where the person being harassed decides to just leave the project rather than seek a court order, wouldn't be acted upon. Fun-fact*, if I went round to someone's house, took some photos of it, maybe took some pictures of their family as well, and then sent them those pictures with the message "Hey, are you going to fix that bug that's important to me, or shall I come round to your house to discuss it in person?", none of that would reach a criminal matter, and so there would be nothing the PHP project could do about it. Don't get me wrong, that behaviour would be creepy as heck - but not anything the police or a court could do anything about. And you're suggesting that this is an acceptable situation. I think I'm done listening to you. cheers Dan *actual amounts of fun may vary. -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
