- CmdrSprinkles 10y agoNo... it really isn't. This is abusing power to attempt to manipulate public opinion on a message board. Stalking is a horrible invasion of privacy that has a tendency to escalate into violence. And even when it doesn't, it results in drastically increased anxiety and fear for the person being stalked if they find out.
- lttlrck 10y agoSomeone could certainly suffer anxiety and fear if their public messages were altered in the appropriate manner. And it could escalate.
