there was no stalking. There was no order to stay in the car either. Stalking has a specific meaning, and it doesn't cover running to see where someone went after the police operator asked where he went. See my reply to Ghost in the Machine and the provided links.

So if was not a personal attack it was just an ad hominem attack on mathematicians? Still not cool.
