I've gotta be honest, I'd rather have a community that isn't afraid to voice their opinions - even if they are jerks - than this community where everyone is passive-aggressive, overly sensitive, and reports for anything and everything. Like someone said, you can be banned if you say a curse word and somebody - doesn't matter who - reports you. I actually do not think SE is very good at handling harassment. Like I said, earlier in this thread, they are heavy-handed.

Like the OP may have an actual stalker, but this supposed stalker knows exactly how to annoy the OP while avoiding punishment by SE. Whether it's true or not, it's not like there aren't people who do this. Many in this community know exactly how to skirt the line. I've said this before in other threads, but I'd argue this game's community is more "toxic" than many of the comparisons given.
