Internet Etiquette Question

Okay, this is something that's been bothering our household for awhile now, and I just have to know.  What's the etiquette on "liking" comments on FaceBook?

We have a friend, who styles himself as a white knight, who has been very close to the family/part of the chosen family, but has become somewhat stifling and intrusive over time.  He recently began "liking" every single status update made by any of us, and every single comment made in response to those updates.  It feels like stalking - especially since he seems to like or comment within minutes of any post we make (which can't actually be true because he doesn't have a FB-capable phone).  But it feels really intrusive.  Are we overreacting? Is there any way to ask him to stop without sounding terrible?

He's the annoying uncle, yannow?  The one that irritates everyone, but he's still part of the family and you wouldn't dream of organising a family gathering without him.  (Only lately we've started dreaming...)

I have friends like this. I've learned to ignore it but I can see where it could be obtrusive.
