Quick question: If A went to a message board and read every single posts that B has posted. And A and B knows each other in real life but A never told B that he has done this. Would that be considered stalking? |

It's a posibility. But, it depends why you read their every post, If you're friends I mean... that might be normal. The question is, do you think you're a stalker?  |

Why would A bother to read all of B's messages?
It's a bit odd, but it's definitely not stalking. It's just taking an interest. Stalking is much more intense and widespread. |

Well, it's maybe a little obsessive, but stalking is much more extreme. To really be considered a stalker, A would have to actually intrude somehow on B's privacy.... Well, that's what I think, anyway. |

If it's reading posts on a forum there might be reason for concern, but it's really nothing to worry about. Like what Impaler said, maybe this person just has an interest.
Stalking would be following, trespassing on property in real life. |

i think the creepiness factor just depends on why they were doing it in the first place. |

Thanks for all the answers.
Christian cox: how do you know I was talking about myself? It's true, but I guess it is a little obsessive. But I'm working towards to stop this behavior now. |
