*casually and charmingly stalks e-crushes to see how they're doing*
@Are0h
please do not use stalking for checking others social media (it can be done in a "stalking" way but if you'd do so you will prbly not write about it on social media like that - hopefully). Please do not connect stalking with "casually" and/or "charmingly". There is nothing charming about getting stalked. There is nothing casual about it. Stop invalidating the terms people use to talk about violence.

@antifahnen You need to take a step back. No one is invalidating anything.

You do not get to dictate what I do nor frame it in a way that suits whatever way you feel right now.

You have the option of either just not following me or reign in your self righteousness. The choice is yours.

@Are0h @antifahnen You get to dictate how you frame what you do. You framed it as stalking, an activity that often ends in violence and is, at a minimum, incredibly uncomfortable for the subject.

I've never been stalked, but your post still gave me a jolt of fear.

@dhasenan @antifahnen Well, yeah. And I did not mean it in a negative fashion. I don't take kindly to people telling me that I'm intentionally contributing to toxic environment as that has never been my intent.

That said, I don't have any problems with finding a better way to express that sentiment. I didn't realize it evoked that kind of reaction largely b/c I have not been through it. I learned something today.

But I'll never let someone who I don't know rudely tell me what I'm doing. Nah.
