What have I posted today that could upset a mad woman?

Baggy it's out of order.

The constant surveilance, trying to control your every action, taking notes on everything you say and do, reporting on you.

I told you not to vote Labour.

Unlike yours...

Sorry I can't remember the name of the movie it come from.

This freaked me out because it very accurately describes the MO



Two common traits of stalkers are that they are intelligent and self-centered.
They are quite talented and dogged at tracking down the object of their warped affection, and they see nothing wrong in what they do.
No matter how strenuously you may reject a stalker, they will never surrender the notion that you will come to your senses, give in to their pursuit, and fall in love with them.
It is quite likely they have no friends; their only "relationship" is with you.
They is likely to have few, if any, social skills, tend to be a loner, and typically they have low self-esteem; should you make the mistake of showing them some affection, rather than them accepting it, it is equally possible they will consider it a sham and accuse you of mocking them.
They can become angry and abusive in a flash.
Stalkers come in three flavors. There is the delusional type, also known as the erotomaniac, with whom you have never had a relationship and never will; the hangdog with whom you have broken up but who refuses to believe the affair is over, and the stalker intent on vengeance for the pain he believes you have caused them. Both the delusional stalker and the hangdog stalker have the potential to become vengeful stalkers.

Bagpuss - I'm desperately sorry to hear of your plight. I've had a similar event recently with someone who is now being extremely quiet - so quiet, in fact, that I'm concerned about what else they might be up to.

Here's a couple of websites that I found via the FWSE:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/insideout/yorks...g_advice.shtml

The first is obviously seen from the female perspective although TBH I believe that men are just as likely to be the victims of this as women.

HTH.

Cheers for that Menelaus. I've never had anything like this before, it's getting quite stressful. Luckily I have a manager who understands, infact he was a victim of stalking himself, albeit someone he knew.
