Default Dealing with poker stalkers

Unfortunately, my poker stalker will probably find this post, but so be it, I'm letting him know soon enough.

This guy really creeps me out. Backstory is that we went to the same college and played in some of the same live tournaments there. We talked on AIM for a period of time as acquaintances, mostly poker-related, and I hung out with him once. It was ultra-awkward and when I decided to play in a tournament instead of the possibility of going to a basketball game with him, he flipped out on me.

When I started posting on a poker forum (not this one) and he saw it, he joined a month or two later. He made a online journal after seeing mine. He stalked me on Stars and commented on hands he saw me play without telling me he was sweating. I made an exclusively-poker blog for a class and he made one soon after and linked me (though in fairness I did advertise it on a forum we were both on). Now he signed up for the site I played on now, made a handle very similar to mine, sat in on my game and then posted hands I played in his blog and commented on them (I posted one hand involving him in my blog, but I didn't use his name or the tournament it was in if that's any consolation).



I suppose this is innocent in nature, but this really freaks me out and even though he doesn't get a ton of hits on his blog, I'm just creeped out by the entire ordeal. Also I'd worry about the poker site in question thinking we're colluding or that I'm multi-accounting. So beyond telling him to stop shadowing me/writing about me in his blog (not that I have a right to tell him what to write about, it's teh internet), any other advice?
