@minoru nope, it would not creep me out. To the contrary, I would be flattered. I bet this is the same for a lot of people. My guess is that if the person whose timeline you are reading is consistently trying to write with good quality then they would not be creeped out because their usage of this platform is as a means to be heard or as a way to participate in discussion.

Conversely, if you find someone who often says intentionally stupid things, or who often bashes other things or people with little restraint, then they probably would be creeped out since they use the platform as means for venting or getting things off their chest. They might not want to be held accountable for what they said a while ago.

I'm in the first category, so feel free to respond to past stuff.

@philipwhite @minoru context is all that matter really. If you are sensible, neutral, polite most people wouldn't have a problem. If you are obsessive, confrontational, mean most people would. Of course, if you are trying to be a smartass, you are running the risk of looking extra stupid talking about ancient history everyone already figured out, but that's a threat to you no anyone else. So, basically, just don't be creepy. That said... STALK ALL OVER ME BABY, OH YEAAAH
