SE's inability to protect players from stalking/harassment

[Theodric]

The game attracts a troubling number of unhinged players, unfortunately. With that said, if the situation is not being dealt with despite being reported multiple times over the course of a year then is that not a sign to take your leave?

Edit: Since the answer was already given.

It should be fixable, and it's a huge problem. Yoshi has said about it last year:

Q: When I delete a person from my friends list, I want my character to disappear from theirs, as well!
Yoshida: That would lead to the problem of “Why did he delete me?” and might cause trouble, so we didn’t do that on purpose.

Personally I feel that if you delete a "friend", they should be removed on both lists. It's not in issue that way in other games.

So for Yoshida its better to not hurt the feeling of the one being kicked from the friendlist? Why? I really dont understand that viewpoint. "Please still be friend with the one that hurt you, otherwise it might hurt their feelings.."
