They really could have picked a better title for it than 'stalk words'. They really love that word, don't they?

Possibly deliberate, but seems to evoke the classical term instead of the criminal act: i.e., "a lion stalks its prey".

It's so funny how we don't mock anymore.
It's so crummy why we don't stalk anymore
But Hersch ain't losing sleep, and I lost count of baleets.
It's a bummer how we don't rock anymore.

Behold, STALKWORDS, brought to you by lovable ban-maniac, Mike.lifeguard.

A) shouldn't there be a list of words somewhere in the code, to filter or act on?

and B) Mike Lifeguard is still a vile little dick.
Put that in your stalkword list, whore.....happy.gif
