The difference between sexual harrassment in actuallity and over the telephone, in e-mail, or at a MUD/MOO is defiently the physical part of the harrassment. I mean you are still being harrased mentally and physically in actuallity but in the virtual world there is no physical interaction. Both are still extemely bad and unexeptable and should never be tolerated regardless the situation or the place (VR or RL). Over the telephone might be a little different in a way that you are actually hearing the person and there might be more interaction. There for it might be more demeaning and mentally tramatic. There is a sence of space between the internet and MOOS, but on the telephone there is no space between you and the person. you are actually talking to them. Even though there should not be any lenience towards the consequences given to towards harrasment, you do have to take into consideration where and how the harrasment was done. VR vs. Real Life is different in a sence of the physical and mental aspect. I think it depends who is judging the matter, for which the consequences would be based on. As of now, I am not aware of a law or rule for harrasment on the internet.
