I directed an NT friend to this forum - and his words were "Jesus, it's full of nutters".

Does anyone else get that impression ?

My daughter has a T-shirt that says,
"I'm going to my happy place, and you can't come."

It's good to know that they are repulsed enough to stay away from WP.
I want my happy place to be filled with nice people.

Nobody else believes me when I say,
"I see mean people. All the time."

Any internet forum seems nutty until you've lurked or posted in it for a while and got to know some of the members and the 'feel' of the place. This place is no different.

What, compared to all those internet forums where all the posts are terribly sane and un-nutterly? Don't think I've seen many of those.

Of course it's full of nutters! Not so much as a music nerd forum, tho'.

And what about a f****n' drum'n'bass forum? Not much can get lower than that . . .

I've met a lot of nutters here...lots of extremists of all stripes, perhaps because aspies don't do anything in moderation.

That's right. It's fun to be crazy, dangerous and inconsiderate.

How many WPers would self-apply the terms "nutter" or "crazy?"

My guess is, not many. So there ya go.

WP is the most rational, peaceful and civilised forum I've ever posted on. It's usually well-moderated and people behave with good manners and respect each other for the most part. Very different from most of the internet.

Normal person + anonymity + audience = bad, insane behaviour*
