Why would anyone carry on with this behaviour?
He can't believe that you don't reciprocate his feelings, since he still feels the way he does. Words will not make him stop, so stop trying to reason with stupid. Get a new boyfriend, move on with your life. Your ex sounds like the type of guy to be immediately intimidated by any other guy ... so future BFs/relationships could alleviate the problem, though you shouldn't feel rushed into anything as rebound-relationships are typically shortlived anyhow

If you were friends with this guy, why would you encourage it or help him?
What would make you stop?
He needs to get laid. I am unsure of your age or anything else, but assuming you guys are young it's very possibly that you are the first girl to pay him any kind of attention / possibly the girl he lost his virginity to. If the latter is the case, good fucking luck. He will haunt you until he finds another girl to obsess over

As always, everyone's opinion would be much appreciated
If you really want to make a clean break from him, you might have to burn some bridges with some people you may otherwise like. The cliche phrase comes to mind: "The people in your life are like seasons, everything changes for a reason"

-- maybe you're growing up (again, don't know your age so take it w/ a grain of salt) and you're starting to realize the ramifications of adult problems, you can no longer be a social butterfly with a bajillion friends on your friendslist. Your time is precious, and the older you get the more you realize what a fleeting commodity it really is -- protect it. Do not allow people to have easy access to you, focus on yourself, make yourself better. If you must, delete everyone you don't talk to on a semi-regular basis off friendslists, change your cell phone number, burn bridges, etc.
