If you look up at the beginning of each page in this forum there is a link to something extremely important to remember here. Please take a moment to read it again, step away from the computer if need be for a bit, put another on ignore for awhile to make yours and everyone else's experience as best as it can be here.

It's okay to have differing opinions, it's not okay to call one another out over those opinions and make it personal.
Thanks! |
I did read this link carefully and one of the things it says is that we are to accept each others accounts and not 'play detective'. In this regard it seems to me that if a person claims he has no malicious intentions and that he once waited somewhere for a glimpse of his T then we should offer support for the way he is feeling and not classify his one action in terms which make HIM sound dangerous and make his behaviour sound seriously pathological.
This is not a thread about 'stalking' in general - and what rights a T has when subject to such behaviour. It is a thread started by one person and it involved a fairly innocuous act. The claim that such an act is on a 'slippery slope' to 'stalker behaviour' cannot be made without substantial evidence and it seems not only unfair to me but also potentially HARMFUL when said to someone who is likely to be depressed and is struggling with difficult emotions.
