Well... I do not believe in hiding or ratting out officially or otherwise.
BUT
The Moderator's who's job it is, (volunteers as they may be) have continued to ignore it.
The question them becomes....
Why?
Some things deserve to be "ratted out".
I can't speak for the mods, but I suspect a couple of things, about how they perceive things and what they are willing to step into.
First ... esp in this forum, as they have said, they tend to be a little more "hands off".
Second, I suspect that you don't want to become known as someone who reports a problem, if you are doing the same or similar things.
Third, if you can show several times in which you did not insult or lose your moral position, and attempted to calm things down, and were insulted and attacked again and again, a calm description of the facts with links to locations might get the offending party at least an inquiry or gold-note. That's usually enough to straighten things out.
This method would be best because I suspect the mods do not read the threads with the same degree of attention that general posters do. I also suspect that the mods would like to stay away from this particular forum all together, if they could. It's the "problem forum", and unless you are interested in the subject matter, it can be deadening and boring and all that you really see are the flames.
Several conditions there. Several assumptions there. Just a recommendation.
The most important recommendation I can give is simply do not feed back to whoever it is that is attacking, insulting or stalking. This just feeds the problem.
