wiki的complete definition is in the following link:
[url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyberstalking[/url}
让我们把cyberstalking本身具有的贬义放在一边,我把wiki定义里面适合我们讨论的简化成:
Cyberstalking is the use of the Internet or other electronic means for gathering information in order to "harass".The definition of "harassment" must meet the criterion that a reasonable person, in possession of the same information, would regard it as sufficient to cause another reasonable person distress.
这里我把harrass 和 harrassment 都加了引号以除去它的贬义成为中性。
以肖锤case为例,以版主为首的新语丝从维护科学的尊严为出发点,从网上收集了许多资料来证明肖氏反射弧的无效(gathering information).此结果就是肖锤彻底发疯(distress).
我了解平常用cyberstalking是贬义的。既然你们引用了wiki 的definition, 从我以上的分析,从严格意义上讲,我并没有觉得eddie 说错了。 只是基于common sense, 大家感情上不能take it 而已。
