Am I the only person who dislikes the word "creepy"? It is of unclear meaning, and is based on emotion (even prejudice) rather than reasoned judgement.

My concerns for my own privacy are not grounded in some emotional dislike of "creepiness", they are grounded in reasonable apprehension of the potential negative real world consequences.
