- ScotterC 16y agoAgreed. I recently decided to go all out and open on the Internet and embrace all that social networking has including some of the inherent creepiness. So far I've received little to zero odd encounters / phone calls / emails. It's kind of relieving actually but certainly blurs the line of where my Internet persona ends and my real privacy starts.
