Online Harrassment

While playing a game at Yahoo games over a couple years, I related to another player that I was visiting her town to speak at a museum. From that one mention, some very immature people in the chat room tracked down my name, work address and contact information, and apparently went into my employment records to discover that I have a gay partner. I never confirmed that the info was indeed mine, and I quit going to the game room to avoid this silliness. I complained to Yahoo to no avail. Some people have been calling my office phone (most harmlessly). There is one person, however, who has called and left very homophobic and pornographic messages. I returned to the chat room, only to discover that this same person scrolls my personal information and very nasty ant-gay comments following it, and apparently has been for months. I don't care about the game room, but I am tiried of the phone calls and the malicious publishing of my personal information. Is there anything I can do? Is this harrassment? Is it defamation? I really don't want to sue, but I do want it to stop.
