I wanted to jump in because in some of the discussion it sounds a bit like what's being said is that if we don't put in these extra words, there is no definition of harassment, but there is one, and I take to heart Ms. Moran's comment, which was that there is a risk when you start getting too subspecialized, in that it seems like an exclusive list, a closed list. There is that concern as well. Gestures and contact could easily be included within “action” and “conduct” as well when we're dealing with it. How much are we parsing out within the actual statute? I also take it that it won't do grave harm to include them, but I do take to heart that it might make more sense to include them in a regulation.
