It's cool. If you want more background on sustained harrassment, Kathy Sierra's piece here is a good start:

Because I'm feeling generous, here are some behaviors of people who are looking for discussion:
1) People looking for discussion don't begin their participation by making accusations

Oh, I care a lot about my cause. But I don't care to minister to trolls who don't want to learn. If you want to learn, cool. But your behavior and words show that you don't. As you get older, you realize some battles aren't worth fighting because they can't be won. This is one of them.

Buh-bye, trolllio.

What do you mean 'we'? Lots of men understand 'this shit'. My male friends and my husband get it. My dad gets it. You choose not to educate yourself, and you choose not to learn. If you don't want to understand, that's your deal.

Yes, I do respond this way to men who feel that it's their place to tell women who are being degraded to play nice. I've been in STEM for a long time, and I hear from men like you a lot. Because you don't know what it's like to feel threatened in the space where you work because of your sex or gender identity.

People don't think you're a dick because you have penis. People think you're a dick because you think women should respond to threatsand slurs by calmly telling the threateners to run along and be nice now, dears. Preferably with a smile. You've inveted so heavily in the 'women as nuturers' stereotype that you insist…

This is so incredibly warped, man. People should not be nice to people who threaten their safety, and it says a lot about how you see women that you think we should.

You really think that a man telling a woman that's he's going to rape and kill her will suddenly turn into a nice person if someone is 'compassionate' to him? And that he'll 'start a fight' with her if she tells him to fuck off and blocks him?

Ha, well I bet he wouldn't cryptically threaten her in person. Who's the real coward?

So the LW is asking a stranger to judge her partner based on her words, and that's cool. But its unfair for me to judge her based on her words about her partner. OK.

But don't you see? She likes 40s! Clearly she is very laid back and reasonable and the real problem here isn't her inability to communicate with other adults.

I absolutely agree. The idea that we have to cleave to one way of handling assault, and ignore the fact that we live in an imperfect world is bonkers. I can want the guy to go to jail, and the school can take its responsibility for student safety seriously, too.

I will never understand the stubborn-minded idiocacy of people who suggest that (a) rape shouldn't be handled by campus authorities, (b) that students should have fewer options rather than more or (c) some combination of the two. Like, do these folks really want to go to class and sit next to a man who raped you or…

Oh, OK. So you won't take the risk of having your information digitally stored by vendors, but you'll happily foist that on a friend and then victim-blame them when they get hacked. Gotcha. You're awful.

Right, but my question was if that's hard. Like, if you can't do online purchasing with credit or debit, how do you buy plane tickets or order things that you can't buy locally with cash or a check?

The original question could have been phrased as 'Is it hard not to have a credit or debit card.' The point isn't actually the card; it's that if you use a credit or debit card to purchase goods or services, your info is stored in cloud-based storage. So if this person has a credit card, then by their own logic,…

Is it hard to live without a credit card?

It'll be fine. I'm (currently, sorry typos!) nursing an infant off a nipple that bled from the other infant's suckling. Shit doesn't go right always, but, nothing is ever the same and it's pretty great.

That wasn't the question. The statement was:
