Thanks for that Theresa, I'm sorry that you think that
checking someone's edits is 'stalking'. I can
certainly see why Rick would not want anyone examining
his behaviour too closely, but are you seriously
suggesting that oversight is inapropriate?
You want to say that anyone who looks too closely at
what another user is doing is 'stalking'?
Stalking is a real-world phenomena where someone is
followed in multiple ways. Checking someone's
contributions to an online encyclopedia is not
stalking. It is responsible checking.
Yours,
The Recycling Troll
