Just realize that most posters here are anonymous for a whole slew of reasons.

Their anonymity give them license to assume a variety of personae not reflective of their true selves. I know that some psych guys are doing research to elicit and monitor certain types of responses. Could you be an unwitting guinea pig? <VBG>

A psych researcher told me he got insights into the psyches of a good number posters by monitoring their posts or inviting/provoking/inveigling them to respond to certain "contrived" slanted viewpoints.

You may not have known, for example, that I post under two more handles on SI, courtesy of SI in early 1997.

So, if you judge an individual by his/her writings done under an assumed persona, can you really be sure you are judging the real person every time?

You call Richnorth's writings twisted, eh? Hah! if truth be known, haqi hana's writings are no better or worse --- a classic case of the pot calling the kettle black, eh?
