I've only profile/post stalk people I suspect are RPers, since I'm always looking to befriend those types of people~

I also stalk friends in Towns...I've only had one friend specifically ask me not to do that, so I don't with them~

i guess i don't really consider it stalking if it is easily accessible info on the net. i mean, if it's two clicks and you're on someone's facebook, no clever searching or such involved, it ain't that hard, sooooo... i hardly stalk at all emotion_dealwithit

it ain't exactly e-drama, but i dated a guy once who accused me of stalking becuz i looked at his myspace and noticed that he was dating another girl by reading his comments. i was like WHAAAA IT IS RIGHT THERE !!!

though i wonder if gaia makes it a little easy to stalk. don't they have "join this user" buttons everywhere, for towns and zomg and forums??

i'll drink to that

Aha, you know the lure, the pull of curiosity!

Slight aside. I am so tired that when trying on the Song of Amour in the cash shop I thought the damned thing played a short tune. Next thing I know avatars will start to blink. Best to turn off the interwebs now and sleep.

I wouldn't call it stalking, because I've been legitimately stalked online and off and stuff like post stalking, following around a person in towns, even copying a person is all very harmless in comparison. But because of the incident I had (that I posted about in the other thread you mentioned in the op), I essentially do background checks on anyone that friend requests me. I'll read through their post history, journal, profile comments, even their guilds if I'm able to. And then if that all checks out, like, you seem like a normal enough person, I'll accept the request. But if you don't talk to me within the month I'll assume you were a stalker-y type person and take you off my friends list. rofl

I don't have any creep stalkers. None that I know of anyway. eek

So I'm good.


the rats in the c e l l a r you know who you are


Don't mind me, I'm just quietly stalking you in a non-creepy way. Carry on. . . emotion_dowant [Goes back to hiding in the bushes]

Anyway.
I know of one person that stalks me, and I'm surprisingly comfortable with that. Now, if there was more than that one person that I know of that stalks me, I won't know how to feel about it. XD

Dedicated Friend

People who follow me on threads or follow me on blogs like Tumblr I don't consider stalking. While I see the concern of using the internet and eventually making friends with these internet strangers, stalkers don't just appear out of no where, at least most of the time. The stalkers I have encountered usually are linked on a personal level, for example an ex-boyfriend, or someone who knows you and they eventually become fascinated by you (I've had both these examples happen to me).

Anyway, from what I've experienced, stalkers are pretty rare, and usually happen due to them finding some strange obsession with you. And even if some stranger on the internet just randomly decides to become fascinated with someone, it's up to that individual to be wise on who they approach on the internet. The internet is always going to have some crazies, and if people are going to go online to chat with other people, then the best they can do is be wise about it and set their boundaries on who they talk to. That's all in choice there.

Yep! When in doubt, always try to tread on an air of some caution, play it safe and just plain use common sense on the net.

It always helps to do so, well, most of the time anyways. x3

I've become fascinated with people before. It's like, another person's life can seem so amazing when all you are shown is the best of things. It's really important to remember that before thinking someone else's life seems perfectly awesome. I'm probably alone in knowing how that situation is though I'm sure. sweatdrop
