This is a tech-industry news site. Half of the people here are on real names and/or provide links for networking. Yeah, I make my professional self "out there" for people to get in touch with on here.

It is the use of the derogatory term “stalking” towards a person who’ve visited the links you put there yourself that I find peculiar, rather than the links.

Ah, I think that might just be an age or social-clique thing. At least among my friends, we've generalized "stalking" to just generally include seeking out someone's real-life identity via their online breadcrumbs, even when the "breadcrumbs" are signposts put down on purpose.
