Wow, sweeping dismissal of legit concern. Sometimes people do creepy things. When they do, it's very important to the people they're creeping on that they be believed. This doesn't mean sentences of the form "X is creepy" have some kind of sacredness property that immunizes them from ever being false or used for goals they shouldn't be.
