Usage as returning through the same course you came through in attempt to find your way. Backtracking (the term) is usually used in this context as a 'policy reversing' form... but ultimately that's actually really kinda, well, incorrect. So yeah... you go back to the point at which you feel you had a point, and try to negotiate (guided interpretation) your data and what you originally said to mean what you feel you originally intended it to mean. Backtracking. The traditional usage that, I will admit, may have become archaic in this context.
Oddly, every time you post, you try to lay down groundwork behind what you said.. and every time you you do this, you fail utterly at making your post any less, frankly, creepy. Which is antithetical to your intent... therefore: you back up again, pull things from behind that... and unfortunately: it's even freakier.
This is ineffective backtracking. You're trying to get back behind things you said to make them out to be interpreted as you intended to... and continue to fail to negotiate others' interpretations along the lines you feel that you mean to intend.
...
Ultimately, the problem you're having arises from your asserted claim that <given person> was a scammer, based on the data you observed to be of evidential importance, in that, unfortunately for your case: is hardly conclusive evidence for your peers, and indeed occam's razor would have it that you simply freaked someone out, which, you would do very well to notice... is the very same reaction *every person who has commented in this thread has exhibited* after reading your posts on this subject...
And further: every single post you make on this issue appears to only make that reaction in ALL your peers all the more discernible.
By the way, are you unaware that it is exactly other people's opinions that do give you a 'stalker status'?
I feel that you should, at this juncture, be made aware of that societal fact. In other news: here's another wonderful ABBA remix!

Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
