This was the weirdest blast from the past today. Mugglecast was like, the first podcast I ever subscribed to, and I was surprised to this story about one of the former hosts kind of going off the deep end, harassing this woman on Twitter.

Is There Any Right Way to Reject a Guy?
Start with a couple tweets:
then move on to Facebook...
Then, apologize.
And finally, get angry again when you get called out (she's a writer for Buzzfeed)

The moral of the story is: When a guy starts to hit on you, never politely tell him you’re seeing someone else.
Little more context:
Grace Spelman was minding her own business on Twitter when a man whom she'd Facebook-friended at age 14 during her Harry Potter fandom days decided that, after seven years, he wanted to interact with her. Ben Schoen had hosted a popular podcast called "MuggleCast," and is listed as a co-founder of the wildly popular Harry Potter fandom site MuggleNet. Spelman said she believes he saw her on the Daily Dot's list of funny women tweeters, and realized they were friends on Facebook.
A little over a week ago, he followed her and sent her a tweet initiating contact, which she politely favorited but did not respond to. He kept tweeting at her, and she didn't answer. But instead of taking the hint that she didn't want to talk to him, things escalated really, really quickly.
