Visitation

[Zim]

By multitasking, one takes down the otherwise normal degree of alertness and spatial awareness that comes about from being focused on the singular task at hand. One does not need to then strike out against the presumed stalker. The question is one of intention. If one is not alert and is caught by a person sneaking, it is the lack of alertness that is to blame, as the onus of external stimulus is not on the person who is minding their own business, but rather on the person receiving the auditory and visual feedback.

As has been pointed out, in a real life, physical situation, intention is crucial in assigning a would-be assailant's motives. So long as a person is not in a location that he is legally forbidden to enter (i.e. trespassing), then he is free to go and come as he pleases. There is no legally recognized 3-foot-personal space, it is merely a social convention which may be compromised without recourse.

Oh but if there were! I would totally press charges on the person whose field of vision I incidentally passed through. The right to be free from glances is paramount!

But seriously, on a forum, you can post, or not post; visit, or not visit; abide by the dictates of the site or risk banishment. It's really as simple as that. If you feel violated by it, then clearly it is not something to continue to pursue.

I concur that subsequential lack of focus is a byproduct of spreading one's attention too thin over too many causes, and also it is evident that the forums here are a completely alternate topic as to legality and intent. It is obvious anyone participating with the forum directly is doing so knowing full well what doing so entails, and every person, with regards to the US, has the right to do so if they please, unless someone else is doing something innapropriate that causes them to do so against their own free will.


To further elaborate, the topic was originally about people whoms intent was to directly and without invitation and in fact priorly informed of a no communication policy still continuing to do so at inappropriate times and saying inappropriate things, specifically, such as addressing me by name and defaming my character, telling other people things that aren't true about me within my earshot on purpose, making sudden claims of partnership when I'm doing well at playing music by myself at home and they just happened to hear it, which is also slander and malignering.

I had previously informed everyone around me that when they cannot dial a phone number to call me, or actually knock on my door and then be permitted to enter and interact, that I do not desire any interaction with them at all because this is a private place that they are not welcome to trespass on.

So it's nothing to do with a lack of alertness in this case, it was a lack of other people's abidance of the law. It was people that were acting as if for some reason that they had a free lifetime VIP pass to my home life, but really my privacy is very important to me because peace and quiet is good sometimes, and also they don't have any right to force other people into participating, and pretending or attempting to establish that other parties in the world are obligated to be addressing someone else 'round the clock is approximately 10-20 felonies wrapped into one. Just because they could hear me doesn't mean they are invited.
Just because these people can receive data like my new password doesn't give them the right to share it or blurt it out, for another example, that is easily construed as Cyber Stalking and Stalking both at the same time.
