It may be that most physical stalking is not as dramatic as your experience. Guess that depends on what is considered stalking.

That may be the case, still assertions that "attacks" in blogs, cyber boards, e-mails, texts or IMs causing:

[e]motional responses to the stress and trauma...includ[ing] high levels of ongoing stress, anxiety, fear, nightmares, shock and disbelief, helplessness, hyper-vigilance, changes in eating, and sleeping difficulties

strikes me as hyper-sensitive, especially when the article says people are most troubled when the "attacks" are anonymous. People being nasty in a blog can cause hyper-vigilance? Really? That's pathetic. How are these people dealing with the normal conflicts that are part life if some unknown person saying something mean about them on-line throws them into such distress?
