Making threats against other participants coupled with public release of personal information crosses the line into cyberstalking, a prima facie illegal activity. Looking back in my email archives, "Kris" was banned for cause on PT, with multiple people pointing out the cyberstalking incident. I hadn't recalled that when "Kris" started posting here. Usually, a ban in one forum I'm associated with gets carried over to the rest, and certainly there are signs that the belligerence behind the event on PT is being carried over here.
I've said it before, and it bears repeating: Those most in need of being moderated are also those least likely to acknowledge that plain fact. I have no compunction whatever in banning people who can't refrain from cyberstalking. "Kris" has gotten an undeserved second chance to make a point; right now it is up to him whether he blows it or not. In case that isn't clear enough, cyberstalking is "excessively annoying".
