Russ has made it clear in his absurd lawsuit filing that he only defines stalking as actively physically following someone or showing up on their doorstep, which is why he claims he isn’t stalking Taylor Swift. Anything else...mailing them unwanted gifts, calling their place of business to try and get in touch, making claims about wanting to be involved in their lives, suing them to get their attention, messaging them over and over, railing against them on social media, repeatedly commenting on their online profile...not stalking.
Never mind he did threaten to show up in Erika’s doorstep. He didn’t actually DO it, so it doesn’t count!
Russ takes everything in bits and pieces. Lots of people mail someone a surprise gift! Lots of people call your workplace to get in touch with you! Lots of people post on your social media! Why is all right for others to do these things but not Russ? It must be because the world hates disabled people.
He refuses to see that any one of these actions by themselves may be acceptable, but all of them together is disturbing. He only judges each action on its own, in a vacuum, and refuses to take them all as an established pattern of behaviour.
I’d like to shove him into a large beehive and then ask him why he’s running around screaming. It’s just ONE BEE, Russ. Several hundred ONE bees, but still. Stop spazzing out because you saw a bee. Haven’t you ever been stung by a bee before? Lots of people get stung by a bee, it’s not that big a deal.
