207. In any group of people, you have an exponentially increasing amount of opinions -
as in, 2 people can have 3 opinions when observing an event or a philosophy, 3 people can have approximately 4.5 opinions, and on and on...At least in my observation.
These opinions can ranging from bat-shit crazy to enlightening. And one person's bat-shit is another person's enlightenment.
Remember - there is no such thing as evil. There is such a thing as cognitive dissonance. And ass-hat humor. Or being under the influence of stress or mind-altering substances.
Really, a sense of humor helps big time. As does just shrugging the shoulders and figurativly walking away when someone just seems to be wanting to pick a fight on the boards.
Remember, this is the Internet, it's not like they're charging at you on the sidewalk ready to whack you with a picket sign reading "The World is Coming to an End if We All Don't Agree with My Clever Plan!"
Now, as for internet stalkers and other people with mental problems that might actually come off the board and start harassing you in RL - e-mail Admin and get a restraining order.

Just my two cents.

Haele
