A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I don't think you can simply say something tantamount to "I think you're an evil person btw pls don't reply" then act the victim because they replied.

If the CEO had been sending multiple e-mails etc, I would agree with you that it's harassment, but from what I can see at any point the blogger could have just disengaged, but he seemed more interested in getting the last word in.

If they replied a single time, sure. Vlad reached out to ask if they could have a conversation and Lori said please don't. Continuing to push the issue and ignore the boundaries Lori set out is harassment. I don't think that Lori is 'acting the victim' either, they're simply pointing out the behavior. Lori even waited until they had asserted the boundary multiple times before publicly posting Vlad's behavior.

How many do you expect? Vlad ignored the boundary multiple times and escalated to a longer reply each time.
