If your friends have to be friends with your friends, and similarly enemies with your enemies, you're going to have a hard time making friends in general. You can't, and shouldn't choose who your friends are friends with.
Everyone enjoys different relationships with everyone. So some of your friends may see an entirely different side of this person who is harassing you.
In essence, Rhostel has the straight of it, but we all know that friendship does not mean possession, or blind loyalty, or control of said friend...
That's not what I said. You're looking at implications that aren't there, not my actual words.
Having differences with friends of friends is natural and nothing to worry about. That's why they're friends of friends instead of straight-up friends. But when someone's a harassing douchebag and your 'friends' care more about not doing anything to make him feel uncomfortable than worrying about your discomfort, they are not really your friends. They are his friends, and you're just someone they don't mind having around.
I also said that assuming that Robromance actually has talked about this to the group in question. If it's still secret from them, that advice doesn't apply and Robro should know that without me having to say so. I started that post with 'If they know' for a reason.
@Robro - Sounds like a decent plan.
