Why are there so many seemingly normal people on here who turn out to be total weirdos when you view their profile and forums?

Would this be different than "real life" and all the people around you, though...? I think that's just how society or "the world" is. People sort of put a façade of abiding by most rules of what is generally accepted as "normal" or "civilized" behavior, but what secrets or inner fantasies they have is something else. If anything, I think your discovery of such unexpected weirdness should be a way to open your eyes to the fact that most/all people around you may not be as "normal" as you assume them to be...
