Union 5-3992 Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 I don't really see how it's creepy. Say you met a stranger and they talked about their kids. A common question one would ask is their age. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

treeduck Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 It's creepy to stalk your local barmaid for years, waiting around outside her house for ages eating donuts, preparing many elaborate presents and cards for birthday, Valentines, Christmas, Easter, treading on eggshells in case you wake her up at midnight, following her about while she's doing the shopping... Wait a minute this sounds a lot like marriage? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Sawyer Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 it's creepy to obsess on a subject of extremely insignificant relevance? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edhunter Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 The thread in question was only creepy because everyone knows what a privacy freak Peart is. Mosbach will probably shoot Zumbi by morning. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GabesCavesOfIce Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 It's a frame of reference type of question. Isn't it common to get asked this by friends, distant family, co-workers, etc. I'd only ask if I were interested in what Neil's day to day boring retired life is like.

Let's assume that you have no other relationship with the celebrity other than loving their professional work. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1-0-0-1-0-0-1 Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Context is everything. In the case of Zumbi's thread, when you see "How old is Neil´s new daughter?" from the main page, it looks weird, and a little creepy. Like, why does he want to know that, and why did he start a thread about it? He couldn't just Google it? Once you go into the thread and read the post you see that he wanted to know how old Neil was when she was born. Okay, that's not so bad. Still not threadworthy, but okay. That thread is already on its third page (plus this spinoff thread) and most of the posts are about why he's asking about that, and is it creepy or not -- partially because it just wasn't a great topic in the first place. Not life-threatening or anything, but still, just...a little weird. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnnyBlaze Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 And here's not weird.... Adam: Hey, I didn't know you played the drums.Bob: Yeah, for several years now. Adam: Who's your favorite drummer?Bob: Neil Peart.Adam: Rush! Totally. He's gotta be in his 60s by now but he's still awesome.Bob: Yeah, he's in his mid-60s but he does have a little girl.Adam: Really? How old is she? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Digital Dad Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Would it be creepy if I asked how old Zumbis mom is? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EagleMoon Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 It's not creepy if it's just curiousity in a detached sort of way, especially in the case of Neil. He has talked about Olivia so many times in his blogs and books it's not like he's trying to keep her a secret or anything. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
