GrC's™ Nomination, Stalker of the Year™ Award. Today's gun nut stalker account: ron_ulysses_swanson. [Search tags so you can find this later: RON, ULYSSES, SWANSON]
Edit to Update
Shadowbanned so far:
u/i_smell_my_poop <--somehow reinstated
It just occurred to me that u/ron_ulysses_swanson has been stalking our histories for so long on so many different accounts that we have come to think of it as normal reddit behavior. But it's not. For users that are unaware, for months he has followed our comment histories and makes comments behind us in obscure subreddits he could not possibly have found without stalking behavior. For instance, today 45 minutes after I posted in r/changemyview he found my comment and started posting about tyrannical government opppression.
Then he lied about being a stalker to one of the mods there, so I figured I would take a few minutes and put this together for future reference.
Because of his fanatical behavior he should be considered a doxxing threat, he's not right in the head. So be wary of engaging him. He astroturfs NRA talking points in r/politics/new and r/progressive and r/liberal (although he doesn't belong there), and regularly comments in r/progun, r/firearms, r/ccw.
I have decided to put together a quick and dirty compilation of him following me into threads so that when he stalks us normals on reddit, we can refer redditors back here to see. He controls multiple accounts, and may or may not have one other nutter he hangs out with. I don't think he's part of the holocaust denying national socialists crews, but I asked him today and he has so far not denied it which is troublesome.
These are not all of the accounts associated with him, I will add more moving forward:
The following are fellow stalker accounts, you can interchange them with him and get the same massive stalking results list below:
Stalker accounts should be treated much more warily than other accounts. I often don't respond to them. They should be treated differently from the accounts below (which may or may not be alts, but are not used to stalk).
He also runs with these gun nutters: u/isajeep, u/richmomz, u/ak47 (generally may be alts or just fellow nutters).
Hall of Fame Moment #1: he forgets to switch accounts when stalking me in March 2013

Hall of Fame Moment #2: he admits that assault_rifle is his account in April 2013

Here is a small selection of every comment he has made by going through my personal history and following me into other subreddits for the last two months. This selection ignores general astroturfing. I am also leaving out his stalking of others to keep the list manageable, but feel free to add your own in the comments below:
