Most people I run across on forums seem to be genuine, decent and sane
Some, usually (but not always) Americans have the odd area in which they are nuttier than squirrel shit and which they are incapable of discussing rationally:
Eg
Young earth creationists
Homophobes.
Anti gun control freaks who are convinced their society will descend into chaos should they lose their right to shoot people in the head over a parking space or not standing for the national anthem.
Supporters of the perpetual adolescent of political philosophy; Libertarianism.
When faced with a person so afflicted, the kindest thing is to simply humour them and quietly change the the subject
