Hi,
If we want to use the verb 'nitpick' towards people or their actions, which preposition is okay?
Stop nitpicking me? Stop nitpicking to me?
As for things, we can just say: Stop nitpicking my ideas?

Hello, Igor.
You wouldn't use 'at' or any other preposition. You could say:
- Stop nitpicking me.
- Stop nitpicking my work.
