Similarly on Reddit (yes, I am one of them...): a lot of users seem to believe that looking at someone's past comments on their userpage is somehow stalking or "creepy". I have literally seen people say "I didn't give you permission to look through my comments history."

Perhaps this is all because of Facebook and its sectional privacy settings. Maybe a lot of people who start out on Facebook assume that because there they can publish things that only their close friends or family will see, the same will apply elsewhere.
