instead of using "stalking" (a very serious form of sexual violence) colloquially to discuss thoroughly searching or watching someone's profile try

@severak i'm not arguing against scary language, as it may cause people to think more about the actions they're taking (esp if they really are stalking someone)

@gingerrroot creeping and hunting seems to be scary too IMHO.
