Re: "no means no" - or DOES it?

@rmason It's a bit more complex than that. Repeatedly asking to go out with someone is not assault, but it is harassment.

What's being discussed is the whole spectrum from harassment to assault, as the article notes Scoble repeatedly propositioned someone after he'd supposedly sorted out his life.

I was asked over and over again to go out with a guy to an event as he didn't want to take his husband. The first time it was funny, probably the next couple of times too, but the thirtieth time it really wasn't particularly amusing.
