The whole affair smells quite a lot like harassment and someone not being content when asked to stop.

Who not being content when asked to stop? Me, or Alicorn?

First link:

[Alicorn:] Since at least one person seems to agree with you, I'm genuinely curious now. Assuming I'm correct in detecting sarcasm there, can you elaborate?

[Me:] [No, because ...]

[Alicorn:] [Do it anyway.]

Later, in the second link:

[Alicorn:] Let me clarify: you think I'm immature, almost constantly in error, you won't explain my failures in enough [!] detail for me to make use of the information even when I ask, [!] [emphasis added]


It's clear to me that what's going on is:

1) Alicorn wanted me to explain something to her that had a lot of emotional significance.

2) I refused.

3) Alicorn kept asking.

4) Finally finding herself on the receiving end in one of these situations, she seeks to "get back" by withholding her replies from me.

But I'm sure there are other interpretations. In any case, whatever you might say of me at least Alicorn was being "excessively persistent" when asked to stop ... well, at least by the standards she expects out of everyone else.
