I doubt if there is anyone "immune" to stalking, as, if it is carried out impeccably, there is no way to tell it is false,................coz it,s not!
Whether or not, it is a hostile act, would depend on the motivations behind it. Having said that, most folks, find it objectionable to be manipulated. People like to feel they have made a willing choice, and stalking bypasses that illusion.
A "warrior", of course, would not object. It is just another enviromental factor, to dealt with, impeccably.
Viewed from an appropriate perspective, being stalked is both funny, and educational.
I was once fortunate enough to be "stalked" by a couple of master con-men, in India, ( one Canadian, one Indian,), who worked in unison, to effect the most astounding con on myself and my friends.
Even though, I knew they were up to something, I could,nt help being pulled along by the momentum of thier acting.
In the end, they got a ****-load of traveller's cheques from us, and we got the most superb demonstration of thier art.
I guess, I should have felt outraged, or otherwise upset, (as one of my companions did,....extremely!), yet, I could,nt stop laughing at the sheer wonder of thier performance. I felt truely priveleged to have been allowed to see it.
Just depends how you look at things.
