I have another person who feels entitled to pester me for days and days because they really, really disagree with something I said even tho I have asked her to go away. James and I wrote a thing about this - the Fallacy of Demanding to be Heard - which we'll publish shortly.

Yes. James and I have picked this apart. It's escalating really fast, this mentality. Usually connected to free speech. 'You say you support free speech but won't listen to me.' WTF?

There are so many paths to low self-esteem. This person sounds very damaged. Is it possible to just ignore them entirely and never mention them publicly again? I suggest: ignore, block, & reblock as needed - but file harassment reports on each acct to Twitter for real action.

The difference is there was an active, presumably consensual effort to start and maintain the relationship prior to a disagreement.

This represents a huge empathy fail. All the importuning person has to do is think, "how would I feel if a complete stranger believed he could control my mental life and force me to engage?"
