Fear is in the mind, it is real there because people let it grow and fester in themselves. They have lost control of the one thing they can influence, themselves. Harassment is not always controlable but the fear of it is. I'm willing to discuss curbing harassment but handling the fear of it? No, that is handled by the individual.

Btw this all reminds me of the following quote:
"I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain." - Frank Herbert's Dune

Gah I'm such a geek.
