Off email for a while and catching up.
One thing that worked really well in a situation where I was repeatedly harassed by another editor was when someone else brought another ANI vs. the person which I supported and an admin who go fed up with back and forth among three of us threatened to invoke http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Interaction_ban#Interaction_ban among us. I said - "Yes, go for it!!" since it would mean this person could stop insulting and reverting me and getting away with it with her wiley political methods. The person immediately got disgusted and left the article for good! This definitely is good for situations where one or more males are harassing women in an article and perhaps should be invoked more often. If applied in a neutral way it's not necessarily clear who is at fault, I guess.... Of course, the other approach I sometimes fall back at is giving it back to them as good as I get it - though as someone else put it with great arguments, lots of quotes from policy and just enough very subtle sarcasm that they know they are getting tromped on but can't go anywhere to complain cause it's less obnoxious than whatever they wrote about me :-) But these are all cruel and time wasting games and only those of us of fighting Irish spirit and ornery astrological combinations can bare to deal with them, and then only as spice, not as dinner!!!
