This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

The whole internet loves Kagi, a lovely paid search engine that can find things! 5 seconds later We regret to inform you the CEO is an unhinged narcissist who will harangue you in email (hackers.town)

I think a lot of folks, in my experience especially those who didn't grow up with the Internet, don't see online interactions as "real" as offline. I think it explains a lot of the harassing behavior we see online.

For the peanut gallery, if someone asks you to stop communicating with you but you persist, it's harassment regardless of the venue.
