I generally only consider someone to be odd if they are more odd than I am, that gives them a lot of leeway.Having said that, I would consider the behaviour you describe as odd. Not just stalking but obsessive.If you look at the reaction of members of TNS towards oddball posters - mainly those who do not understand QM, relativity, or atomic physics - there is an initial engagement followed by a 'leave them to it attitude' when it is realised that they are unlikely to understand, ever. As for taking the trouble to pursue them onto other forums, too much effort for no return, too many other interesting ideas to consider.
Here's an example: see https://www.physforum.com/index.php?showtopic=124723&st=105&#entry818326 and read the posts by waitedavid137I used to think that he was just a really bad a-hole. But making videos and posting them like that makes me think that he's gone over the edge. He seems to think that he has to prove that I'm not a physicists for some strange reason when clearly I am.
Hello Pete, I know we do not see eye to eye but I would never disrespect your ability and knowledge. Please do not let this individual get at you.
I believe you have just come across a professional troll, a real troll unlike the standard people you talk to who you may consider a troll by their lack of literate ability and knowledge and stubbornness.
I am not sure if I have ever been a member of that forum, maybe I should try to register and come over there to sort this fool out.
I am certainly a youtube member so I will discourse his videos and comment accordingly.
He's a horrible person and a terrible physicist. He lacks the ability to understand his mistakes and has a low IQ from everything I've seen him say over the years.
I urge you to do so. Don't expect me to have see those videos. If you think I'm wrong then state exactly what it is that you think I'm wrong about and I'll make my case.
I'm curious about something. There's a real nut job on the internet who's been following me from forum to forum trying to make people not trust my abilities in physics. He even went out of his way to create little videos about why he's right and I'm wrong and posts links to them after every post I make in one forum. Is this something that can be considered cyber stalking or perhaps some other psychotic behavior?
If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem. Isn't that how it goes?
Quote from: Craig W. ThomsonIf you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem. Isn't that how it goes? That's the saying alright but there's very little truth in it. Consider being assaulted by an enraged motorist who's upset with you because you were pushed out of your lane on the highway but the motorist was unable to witness that act so he blames you for it and is so furious that he's out for blood, just as an example. You try to explain but he wants nothing to do with what he calls "excuses" so he starts to attack you. You're convinced that if you don't defend yourself you'll be seriously hurt, if not killed. He's blocked you from escaping so you can't flee. What does it mean, in this case, to be "part of the problem" when all you want to do is defend yourself?

What bothers me is that people act like the guy who loses his temper is the bad guy, not the passive-aggresive jerk who pushed his buttons and made him go off.
