Exactly - and that's been my point from the start. ANY Don Juanita can hide behind an avatar and an alternym and pretend to be anything they want. In the past, Gonzo used to argue that FW's stunt was comparable to that of Julian and the Tulios - but the flaw in THAT logic is that 1) the stunt would NOT have worked had it been enacted in the real world, the flesh-and-blood reality that is NOT cyberspace; and 2) some of us DID see through the charade from the very beginnings, and IF this person were truly a stalker of the CC variety, NO ONE would have seen it coming.
As I said to Gonzo back then, and repeat again now for those who were not present in the past adventures, stalking is actually an activity requiring thought, planning and skill. Those who are mentally deranged (no offense intended to Sheila - honest) simply cannot help themselves, and so their actions are not planned and calculating, but clumsy and rooted in indulgence, addictions and ego. Put simply: FW/Sedna is no more a "stalker" than Chuck Manson was a "prophet". She is simply compelled to engage in these behaviours, not for any noble purpose, but merely to satisfy the compulsion itself.
You can dress it up, but it's still a sheep in wolf's clothing.
