I've never heard or read about any cases. Care to cite any recent ones

The police do take action now, whereas 5 years ago they would send you to
the ISP and that was that. A part of the anti-social stance they are
taking. The Internet is now not immune. The likes of Plowman cannot continue
or he will be in trouble. A recent Radio 4 prog covered it.

Interesting. If I ring your door bell and walk away. You come to the
door and see me walk away. I say nothing and do not give abuse or
insult. If I do this every day for two months the police will take
action. No abuse, insult or harm, however they take action. The same
with a telephone call. I ring you every day for two months and each
time put the phone down saying nothing. The police take action.

As I am aware both of the above are criminal offenses and action has
been taken to stop such harassment. This must now extend to the
Internet as well. The activity on the Internet is tracable.The Internet
has now moved above the realm of nerds into mainstream life.

Look, this is a newsgroup that you voluntarily subscribe to. To solve
the problem of abuse, you either just bugger off or filter out the
people you don't like. Do you really think that's the same as someone
walking up to your front door or ringing you? I'm sure the police define
harassment as something that the recipient cannot easily avoid, which is
clearly not the case here.

like if someone keeps replying to posts with nothing more than comments

There is no such thing as a false identity on the web, as it is
encouraged. I don't use my real name and have no intention of doing so.
There are some strange ones on these groups who could take matters
further. It is best not to give them a real handle.

Seems to me it's the strange ones who hide behind false identities and
issue meaningless threats.

However, if you or your alter ego succeed in getting the police involved,
your true identities will come out - make no mistake about that. So
perhaps you might think on...

"5.3 Harassment

Internet harassment has become a concern for many people. This form of
harassment includes directing obscenities toward others, as well as making
derogatory comments based for example on gender, race, religion,
nationality, sexual orientation. This type of Internet crime can take place
often in chat rooms, through newsgroups, and even through the sending of
hate email to targeted mailing lists. Unsolicited email messages and
advertisements can also be considered to be forms of Internet harassment
where the content is offensive or of an explicit sexual nature. "
