I can't get my head around most of these stories.
The majority seem to be about people that were met at university.

Many talk about how much these 'stalkers' were hated, yet many people seem to have hung round with them, let them into their houses, had phone conversations with them and generally treated them like mates.

A piece of advice, I tend to find if someone is bothering me shouting 'LOOK, FUCK OFF I THINK YOU'RE A CUNT' right in their face, tends to do the trick.

That is true.
If shouting 'LOOK, FUCK OFF I THINK YOU'RE A CUNT' in their face isnt enough for them to go away then they are a stalker. I remember saying many things to that effect to my ex. She didnt get it and I still get the random phone calls now and then.
