We caught him out big time using a fake online persona so that he could "be friends" with us - we have the hard evidence to prove his real identity. At one point, this guy outright told my father that he'd create as many fake e-mail accounts as needed to get around my dad's spam blocker software. Then this guy's behaviour got really bizarre and irrational to the point where several of us started to feel that our physical safety was in question. Four of us had to get together to discuss going to court to get an actual restraining order.

Hm, weird - this sort of behavior is disarming and potentially dangerous? There you have it.

This is the point. Right here. This is why this was posted, I'd assume.
