No, we weren't. And she knew about it, was amused by it herself. No bad intentions.

- roryokane 13y agoYour reply appears to accuse the parent of sophistry, but you provide an even worse argument for your claim than the parent does. It is not obvious to me how posting the definition of “stalk”, according to which the bet was not stalking, is an invalid or misleading argument.
- kjs3 13y agoI am directly accusing the parent of sophistry by selecting to post a definition of "stalking" that required malicious intent if not violence when that is not the totality of the definition, is not consistent with Merriam-Webster or Oxford dictionary and seeks to excuse their behavior by the omission. . But you knew that.

- dsugarman 13y agoTaking the third definition of off merriam-webster online doesn't really prove your point here. There is a reason why the title of the op was "Why Engineers Scare Me". I know this was all in good fun but please do understand why this is stalking and how the same technique can be used in very harmful ways.
