I'm not even his first target. From what I understand, he stalked Mark
Allan, the developer of ClamXAV for years before he found me. Sometime
he'll still stalk Mark Allan for old times' sake.

He would be happy to give me his IP. He makes all of his personal
information public. He wants people to find and interact with him. He
says that anyone else who doesn't do that is a "bad guy".

In case anyone is ever wondering, this is why Apple's Apple Support
Communities Use Agreement specifically says "Never reveal any personal
information". Once it's out there, some creep will have taken 400
screenshots and will be reposting them across the internet for all
eternity. The only defence is simply being lucky enough not to have
attracted the interest of someone evil enough to do that. I haven't been
lucky in that regard.

He would absolutely love to be the focus of a "watch foundation". In
fact, he already is on Usenet. They give him the engagement he desires.
They insult him, belittle him, call him every name in the book. But they
continue to engage with him, they believe his lies, and often do his
bidding. It's a creepy case study of how social media functions. Stalker
is an expert at manipulating people. Stalker knows that EtreCheck
doesn't contain malware. What is true and what is false is irrelevant.
Basic human decency is irrelevant. All that matters is effectiveness. My
"crime" is that I refuse to interact with him. He can stalk me, he can
harass me, but can't manipulate me. For Stalker, that's an unforgivable
transgression.

That's the truth!
