I've never looked up someone's previous posts to "gather ammo" although I have seen it done. I have looked at someone's previous posts to get a better idea of what kind of person they are, particularly if it is someone with whom I feel a lot of commonalities. Also, if someone posts something I think is pretty darned mean or odd, I'll look at their other posts to see if it is a "one-off." We all occasionally say something out of character, and looking at past posts gives me more context. I liken it to using Google to find out more about a dating interest.
