So this question is about being stalked online, instead of real life.
Well in that case I do not like to be stalked online.

I do not like the idea of anyone being able to type my name in Google, and being able to see everything I've done online, for over 10 years. It's not a good thought.

I can answer your question with a counter-question.

For what good reason would someone have to stalk someone online?

The only people who stalk people online are....


  • Prejudice employers who use Facebook profiles as a means to dismiss job applicants.
  • People who have an unhealthy obsession with someone.
  • Creeps


Once you have your real name associated to a piece of content you have on the internet, it is extremely hard to remove your name from that content, if ever you need to in the future. Modifying a digital footprint is like erasing from an etched stone.

On Quora we can make our answers anonymous if we choose to. The internet takes that choice out of your hands if you put your real name on something.

What people think of me affects my whole life.
And I'm sorry, the only people who stalk people online, are people with BAD INTENTIONS!

The minute I get my privacy invaded, is the minute I lose control of my life.

When it's unwarranted attention.


Seriously though, nobody likes to be stalked, even by girls. It's like a rash that you have to get off. It's invasive and stops you living your life, as it removes your control to exercise your choices. It's to be experienced to be understood.

Only warranted attention is good.

What's an assertion, and what should I type in?

Compesh is a question and answer (and debate) website, so before you make a debate, you better learn what an assertion is. I suppose you already know what a question is, and that you've typed it in the box. ;)

An assertion, is basically a statement you can make, that is either true or false.

Richer people have better health.

The question for that would be, Do richer people have better health?

And don't forget to make your assertion, match your question.
