[QUOTE="MechaPilot, post: 6882062, member: 82779"] Because I know what you meant, I found a small spelling error that you made somewhat amusing: bolded for reference. I am entirely assuming that you meant "confront the offender," as your posting history in this thread would seem to support. Regarding your question, I think the only good answer is "it depends on how I'm being harassed at the time." I've described my harassment experience a few times now. If you missed it previously, [URL="http://www.enworld.org/forum/showthread.php?482661-Harassment-in-gaming/page46&p=6879152#post6879152"]you can find it here[/URL]. In my case, I would have desperately loved for something as small as any of the other players smacking the DM on the arm and saying "Dude! Not cool!" Really, anything that made me feel like any member of that group had an ounce of humanity, and wasn't just interested in getting their jollies by watching me squirm at graphic descriptions of being raped, would have been welcome. If the harassment is of a criminal level, for example if someone groped me or made threats against me, I'd likewise appreciate someone calling the guy out for being a jerk. But, even more than that I'd appreciate a witness to the groping being willing to be a witness, and to tell security and the police what happened (assuming I reported it. I know that I would most likely want to report it, but some women will just want to put it behind them). Also, if I was being harassed in a non-criminal way I wouldn't have a problem with a man asking if I wanted him to get the attention of someone I could report the harassment to. If I felt I could handle it myself, I could politely decline the offer before cussing out the jerk harassing me. If I felt the harassment was so out of hand I couldn't handle it myself, I'd be grateful for the offer. [/QUOTE]
