Regarding the Revision of the Prohibited Activities and Account Penalty Policy

I absolutely agree that a lot of this is (possibly too) vague, even if I think I can understand the intent - and I know intent does not always equal reality. I don't know how SE is going to handle this and I'm wary of misuse, too.

I'm just going to say, though, that most of the "well I can't ever talk to anybody ever again because I'm just going to get banned" folks sound like the kind of folks I wouldn't want to talk to anyway - if you automatically assume that people are going to find you offensive, then you're probably right. So, honestly? No tears lost there, for me.

Some of us have had experiences with the " constantly offended " types on social media, who use their proposed victimhood as a cudgel to punish people they disagree with.
There are those people out there for which finding offense with something is their goal. You do not have to articulate a response in debate anymore, merely find a reason to be offended and win.

I have also been stalked, literally, in game, and later irl. And the only thing suggested I could do was blacklist them. He would still follow me everywhere just to stand in front of me to spam emotes, every single day.

Someone stalking you IRL is SE's responsibility? At that point it's gone a bit beyond their jurisdiction.

That's because their ideology tells them that if they even so much as engage in debate they've already lost.
