This is not an argument, let me get that out right off the bat. This started with someone who said
their kid's doctor creeped them out. I'm saying, change doctors, trust your gut. There are many good
doctors out there. I can personally recommend one in Chicago (laugh).

When I said I didn't understand what you meant, I meant about the semantics about defining a
creep. I understood what you meant about the person should perhaps be judged by their talent and
training, etc.

If it was that, the insinuation was not that clear, then I agree 100%. However, most pedophiles
don't behave like that with adults around.

If it was because of other gestures or looks, what's important is that the person is competent and
knows what he/she is doing.

As you can tell, the word has many different meanings, especially # 5:

Main Entry: 2creep Function: noun
1 : a movement of or like creeping <traffic moving at a creep>
2 : a distressing sensation like that caused by the creeping of insects over one's flesh;
especially : a feeling of apprehension or horror -- usually used in plural with the <that gives
me the creeps>
3 : a feed trough or enclosure that young animals can enter while adults are excluded
4 : the slow change of dimensions of an object from prolonged exposure to high temperature or stress
5 : an unpleasant or obnoxious person

Who said it was an argument? I consider it a civilized polemic.

I don't know what else the comments could have meant but I would be open to suggestions.

Precisely.

Not me. I was just making sure, sometimes people take things wrong, especially when it's just
in writing.

What, you didn't read the rest of my post where I praised him for things other than his silly
verbal delivery?
