Your opinion needs to carry much more weight than mine with her. You have had to deal with this exact situation.There are a small handful of members I had to send similar messages to who realized they were making me unhappy and have respected my wishes to leave me alone. I think doing so has a higher success rate than just ignoring and hoping they get the hint.
(This is just my opinion/experience, too, again - you do you. I hope more girls will weigh in on this though because it's a fairly common problem!)
The opinion I offered was based mainly on this bit @Offdutybatman shared: "but I've blocked him on these accounts before and he just gets really upset." So she has at least made some half-hearted attempts to lay down some boundaries. Failed attempts from the sound of it.
My experience is not that of a camgirl (which is what she needs to be listening to). My experience is that of someone whose last attempt at dealing with a boundary crosser went very badly. I had an opportunity to have this person locked up, and could not bring myself to do it. Shit went on for months. By the end of it, this person was lying to try and have me locked up. Didn't work, but it taught me a lesson. If they don't give a shit about your boundaries, they don't give a shit about you. You don't feel sorry for these people.
If this guy is just a member in her chat room, then I think your view is correct, and mine an over-reaction. But there are times when it goes beyond that, and real identities, home addresses, real phone numbers etc. are found out (shared willingly even). If that is the case, he is no longer just a member in her chat room. So I guess the real questions here are what kind of access does he have to her, and what is he capable of?
The part in your post I highlighted in blue...I do not suggest that she ignore because she is hoping he will get the hint. I am suggesting that she ignore with the intent of deliberately provoking his negative behaviour.
Plot twist: @metalguy1906 is in love with @Offdutybatman
