Tweet
My husband is making a name for himself in the area of music broadcasting and radio among other things. That being the case he gets quite a lot of spam from musicians and PR companies because they want him to listen to the music and give a good word and give them publicity. When he can, he'll often try to tell them nicely that it's really not a good PR move to do so. Sometimes they get pissy, but sometimes they have a rational discussion and even learn something about what it means to get the attention of someone like my husband (who I shall refer to as H). This guy, though...
There are two twitter accounts involved here. One I shall call M for musician (this is using the term liberally) and the other one PR for the PR company.
PR sends one near identical tweet after another telling people to go buy M's album. The only difference in the tweets is which person who seems like they talk about music and has a few people following them. Of course, they're getting some angry replies, but PR and M don't go off on them much. A little, but not full crazy. That was saved for when my husband tried to nicely explain why spam is bad.
The short version of this part of the story is that the guy completely blew up and started tweeting from his own account, cursing, throwing out slurs for mentally disabled people, and generally being a jerk. He takes screenshots of H's responses without his vitriol in between and shares that on Tumblr, Twitter, and Facebook to make it appear that H was just sending him tweets over and over without provocation and tries to tell people to report H.
We laugh and move on.
Later, he starts spewing this stuff again, find's my husband's company's email, writes and demands that H get fired or he'll sue the company, AND starts tweeting at me threatening to get H fired and basically tattling on him. (Also, H IS the company practically. Founder, owner, CEO, etc. The idea of trying to get him fired is laughable.)
I report, block, pour a drink. I refuse to engage this guy.
Of course, he doesn't realize I've blocked him, so I was alerted that today he's still tagging me in stuff along with a friend in a band who tried to talk some sense into him. Apparently, both the band and I are fake and all just H masquerading under different personas. He's also trying to spread this around on Twitter and Facebook.
In all of this, the PR twitter account got involved in tagging me in about half a dozen posts in a row spewing made up crap. Apparently, it's been "confirmed" that I'm not real. (Another account to report and block.) Also, M is denying also being PR even though M's bio says he's the founder of PR.
The crazy is strong with this one, guys.
P.S. I didn't start the thread to create another channel for receiving legal advice. Getting quite a load of it right now. Just venting and sharing my misery. You're welcome.
P.P.S. Moar vodka!

This guy is surprised M/PR didn't accuse H of being one of his sockpuppets, but apparently H has enough prestige to qualify to be a puppetmaster in crazytown.
Many of these in Russian, Turkish and Arabic, three languages that I have never spoken in my life.
