Ignore Contemptible Blank and Private Profiles

It's time we started to ignore blank and private profiles. This is a SOCIAL website, but some people seem to have great difficulty understanding what the word social means. We know it can take a few days for new members to fill out their details, but many of them have been LURKING around here for years with completely empty profiles.
It only takes a few seconds to check a profile before replying to a post. If the poster's profile is blank or private, ignore it. If we all do this, many of them will soon get the message, their unsociable behavior is not welcome here.

not everyone is comfortable posting info about themselves online hence the need for blank or private profiles.

This kind of judgement hurts the community

If someone chooses to make their first approach to a social group
by entering a conversation in the forums, why not??? I fully intend
to continue responding to the content of posts, when it moves me to
do so. Why is it so hard to imagine that coming out on the
internet as a nudist can be a scary thing, and beginning with forum
posts a perfectly reasonable way to deal with that fear?

Sure, voyeurs and axe murderers might also have private profiles.
But they would simply browse photos, and maybe message / friend
people. They would have less than zero reason to post on the
forums, where they would attract the attention of the
grumpy-old-men brigade without furthering any putative nefarious
end.
