I was looking up what is defined as harassment so I can avoid getting in trouble on this site. I’m surprised that defining harassment had such a low bar, meaning that anything can be considered harassment. I thought that only repeated behaviors count (like 5 to 10 times a day or once a day everyday). But it applies to once-done behaviors too, even if the behavior isn’t extreme. My question is, why does it have a low bar?
I’m also surprised that simple gossiping and exclusion can also be considered harassment, even though you’re not directly communicating with someone.
