  Sloppy wording on my part (for some few posts now).  I meant to
compare actual cases of harassment (not mere claims) to false claims.

  And I have to concede the point.  While I remain certain that true
harassment occurs FAR more frequently than the false claims that Anim8r
was shedding crocodile tears over, when it comes to comparing actual
*claims* I lack the data to sup****t a case, regardless my personal
beliefs.  (Which isn't to state that the stats here have not been
investigated, merely that I am not aware of such, nor disposed to waste
too much time looking.)
