He does not. Thinking of the people one stalks AS victims is something that stalkers do. Their fantasies revolve around how strongly they are affecting the people they hate. In my considered opinion, the best thing one can do when faced with an Internet stalker is to allow them to fantasize about how strongly they are affecting you (something they would do anyway), while not allow- ing anything they say to affect you at all. Drives them crazy. :-) The other thing it is important to know about stalkers is what the "end point" or "goal" of their game plan is. That is, put very simply, to get you to respond to them one-to-one so that in their diseased minds they can have a Robin-like "confrontation" with you. It *doesn't matter* what you say when replying to them. They already creamed their pants the moment you replied. So don't. It's meaner. :-)
