It's amusing how some comments to this thread degenerated into versions of Yvain's worst argument in the world:
<Behavior A> is labeled creepy and the archetypal example of creepy is harmful, therefore A is bad.
Also: behavior B is bad and is creepy. People talk about creepiness being bad, rather than behavior B being bad. But behavior A is also creepy, and some people think it's not bad. So they say creepiness is not bad. Then they feel they have to defend behavior B against claims of being bad (blue/green politics).
Good point. Maybe Yvain can make a case study out of the OP.
