In reply to Dr.Bob all:Has anyone else been harassed lately?, posted by caroline h. on November 16, 2000, at 11:12:57
If Instant Messanger (?) is very similar to ICQ (and I believe it is) there are folks who hang out on-line just to see who they can harass, just as happens in some chat rooms, etc. With ICQ you ca block specific people from posting to you and you can also be invisible to others while on-line by making some adjustments on one of the menus. Perhaps you can do the same with IM. I imagine that what you have experienced is just a random occurrence. Others who use IM may have more insight into this but that's my guess...
Sante!
