The word stalker is use too loosely?

I heard it on a movie the other night.
A guy texting a woman when she didn't want texts from him "You're being a stalker."
Uh.

Plus I've seen it said about a person looking at [b] public [/b] posts intended to be seen by everyone.
Like you've talking about.

Yes, it does happen. I don't mean to come out with just a flippant statement like that one, but it does. Today I was called a troll and blocked just someone else disagreed with me at my own posting and then at another's. They start to use those kind of negative words as a defence for their own unwillingness to accept that there's also a different way to look at the situation except for theirs. Somehow amongst the alternative facts these days there's that too

People watch too many true crime shows importing the vocabulary into their everyday.

Indeed it is, like so many other labels saturating social media.
Why be on there and post, right?

What's that word?
