whoa, I hadn't expected even one response, let alone two pages of it
OK then, Lets keep it real this time. NO religion, no politics, The subject isn't if climate shift is occurring, nor it is about who's responsible, so if thats what you'd like to discus feel free to go discuss it somewhere else, this thread is about how our ocean conditions are changing due to climate shift. If that rankles, then go post on the global cooling thread. But the changing ocean conditions, and there are most assuredly changing, have a direct bearing on my own retirement plans and I'd think yours assuming any of you are either already on the water or planing on being there anytime soon. I'm going sailing and I'll need to be aware of what the trends in both ocean conditions spell for the near future and what direction trends in weather are taking.
Keep it clean kids and try and show some respect for our moderator, we are after all, just guests here.
Lest you find yourself learning some new terminology

Overview
Many states have enacted "cyberstalking" or "cyberharassment" laws or have laws that explicitly include electronic forms of communication within more traditional stalking or harassment laws. In addition, recent concerns about protecting minors from online bullying or harassment have led states to enact "cyberbullying" laws. This chart identifies only state laws that include specific references to electronic communication. However, other state laws may still apply to those who harass, threaten or bully others online, although specific language may make the laws easier to enforce. This chart classifies the various state laws addressing these three different types of online behaviors, as described below.
Cyberstalking. Cyberstalking is the use of the Internet, email or other electronic communications to stalk, and generally refers to a pattern of threatening or malicious behaviors. Cyberstalking may be considered the most dangerous of the three types of Internet harassment, based on a posing credible threat of harm. Sanctions range from misdemeanors to felonies.
Cyberharassment. Cyberharassment differs from cyberstalking in that it is generally defined as not involving a credible threat. Cyberharassment usually pertains to threatening or harassing email messages, instant messages, or to blog entries or websites dedicated solely to tormenting an individual. Some states approach cyberharrassment by including language addressing electronic communications in general harassment statutes, while others have created stand-alone cyberharassment statutes.
