It's not that tough, actually. Having done it once. You get on the horn
with the admin of the machine, and you get them involved. Death threats
and serious abuse generally get even hard to find admins to sit up and
take notice. If not, whisper the word "lawyer"... (giggle)

I create a service for users to use. I have a duty to make that service
as good as I can, and a duty to my users to make that service a thing
they want to use. That includes making it a place where they don't feel
harassed or abused.
I would not want to invite people to a party at my home and have them
beaten up in the back bedroom, either. I sort of feel I have a duty
that if i have a guest in the house, they leave with all their teeth. I
guess I'm retro or something.
And, silly me, if I'm not willing to take on that duty, I shouldn't be
running services for people.
